Payroll-ready as you go.
Surcharges, overtime, and leave payouts work out while the period runs. Nobody rebuilds them in a spreadsheet.
Payroll preparation
Hours that are right before the handover.
Worked hours, surcharges, overtime, and leave add up while the period runs. At closing you check the numbers, then export them to Nmbrs, AFAS, Loket, SD Worx, or DATEV. Shiftbase gets the hours right; your provider pays them.

Why Shiftbase?
The handover shouldn't start with a spreadsheet.
Close the period.
Close days per department and no more hours can be booked against them. The report you hand over doesn't change behind you.
Connect your payroll provider.
Nmbrs, Loket, AFAS, Exact Online, SD Worx, and DATEV read your hours through the App Center+ add-on. Nobody retypes a number.
During the period:quality(80))
Nothing waits until closing.
Contract hours, worked hours, surcharges, and overtime add up while the period runs. At closing you're checking numbers rather than building them.
Check and close:quality(80))
Check the exceptions, close the period.
The payroll report puts contract hours next to worked hours, with surcharges and leave payouts beside them. Close the days per department and nothing more can be booked against them. A guided version, marking each step done or still open, is in Labs on Premium.
Export:quality(80))
One file, in the shape your provider wants.
Export payroll data as Excel or CSV, with custom leave types and your own timesheet fields included. Overtime gets its own report when you need it separately.
Integrations:quality(80))
Connected to the providers you already use.
AFAS, Nmbrs, Loket, Exact Online, SD Worx, Employes, Loon, e-UUR, Kolibrie, Easylon, Connexie, HR & Salaris Gemak, and DATEV for Germany. Depending on the provider, employees and contracts come in, hours and absences go out.
The boundary:quality(80))
We get the hours right. Your provider pays them.
Shiftbase isn't a payroll system, and it doesn't move money. It makes sure the hours, surcharges, and leave that reach your provider are right in the first place. That's where most payroll corrections start.

About Shiftbase AIFAQ
Got questions?
Everything about payroll prep in Shiftbase, and if it's not here, our team is one message away.
No. Shiftbase prepares the hours: worked time, surcharges, overtime, and leave, checked and closed. Your payroll provider does the pay run.
AFAS, Nmbrs, Loket, Exact Online, SD Worx, Employes, Loon, e-UUR, Kolibrie, Easylon, Connexie, HR & Salaris Gemak, Buddee, and DATEV for Germany. Those payroll integrations run through the App Center+ add-on, and Shiftbase sends the hours rather than running the pay run itself.
Export payroll data as Excel or CSV and hand that over. Tell us who you use, and we will look at adding them.
Basic surcharges from Basic. Advanced surcharge and overtime calculations, plus the overtime payroll report, come with Premium.
Yes. Close days per department and no more hours can be booked to them.
The payroll report and the closed days are visible to anyone in the right permission group. A guided flow that shows which steps are done, skipped, or still open is in Labs on Premium.
Yes, on Premium. Custom leave types and custom fields linked to timesheets both carry through into the export.
Payroll preparation is everything that has to be right before payroll runs: the hours people actually worked, the surcharges and overtime on top, and the leave that has to be paid. In Shiftbase those figures add up while the period runs, so you check finished numbers instead of rebuilding them in a spreadsheet at month end. You close the days, export the result, and your payroll provider takes it from there.
