Why Payroll Reporting Matters
Managing payroll can be one of the biggest headaches for New Zealand businesses. Whether you’re running a small business or a large enterprise, keeping payroll accurate, compliant, and efficient is critical. But manual payroll processes often lead to errors, time theft, and compliance risks.
This is where payroll reporting software comes in. It automates salary calculations, tax deductions, and compliance requirements, saving time and reducing costly errors. When paired with biometric time clocks, like ZKTeco’s advanced punch clock systems, payroll accuracy reaches a whole new level.

- No miscalculations in wages, overtime, or leave balances.
- Real-time tracking of work hours, reducing payroll disputes.
- Reduced risk of overpayments or underpayments.
- Automate tax and superannuation deductions.
- Keep track of leave entitlements and holiday pay calculations.
- Ensure compliance with MBIE and IRD payroll requirements.
- Automates payslip generation and tax reporting.
- Reduces time spent on payroll admin tasks.
- Syncs directly with biometric time attendance systems for real-time calculations.
- Employees receive accurate payslips with breakdowns of hours worked, deductions, and overtime.
- Fewer payroll disputes mean happier staff and reduced HR workload.

How Biometric Time Clocks Work with Payroll Software
Payroll software alone can’t guarantee accurate time tracking—it needs real, verifiable data. This is where biometric time clocks come in.
Eliminating Time Theft & Buddy Punching
Traditional timecards and PIN-based systems allow buddy punching, where employees clock in for each other. Biometric time clocks, like ZKTeco’s SpeedFace V5L, use fingerprint or facial recognition to ensure:
-
Only the actual employee can clock in/out.
-
Accurate work hours are recorded.
-
No manipulation of time logs.

Seamless Payroll Integration
NZTeco’s biometric time clocks work seamlessly with payroll systems by generating customized reports that match any payroll software format for easy importing. While we don’t fully integrate with Xero, MYOB, or PayHero, our partners Jarrison Time and AgriSmart offer direct payroll integrations. This ensures:
-
Employee attendance data is accurately recorded and formatted for payroll import.
-
Payroll processing is streamlined with customized reporting.
-
Businesses maintain compliance with NZ employment laws effortlessly.
Real-Time Tracking & Reporting
With cloud-based biometric systems, HR teams can:
-
Monitor employee work hours in real time.
-
Get instant access to attendance reports.
-
Reduce payroll processing time from hours to minutes.
Export formats
For businesses seeking advanced time attendance software, NZTeco offers solutions like BioTime Cloud 2.0 and ZKBio Time 9.0, which provide additional customization, reporting capabilities, and cloud-based accessibility.
