Time and Attendance Solutions for

Agriculture and Farming

Simple Software Solutions

Getting the most out of your workforce and labour dollars is especially a priority for agriculture businesses, who can be at the mercy of weather, seasonal fluctuations in produce, remote workers and unique awards and labour compliance requirements.

Managing staff in an agriculture business can be a challenge; with a mix of youth and international employees working both full-time, part-time and casual, often at remote locations unsupervised. Ensuring you are always in compliance with wage and hour laws is key, as is reducing administrative hours spent on timesheets and payroll.

At Aussie Time Sheets we offer simple software solutions that automate your payroll process and ensure your agriculture business can comply with labour laws in a convenient, reliable and affordable way. If you’ve been looking for a more efficient and cost-effective way to manage your workforce and ensure you’re getting the best possible return from a crop, we can help.

Here’s what one of our customers has to say about our Aussie Time Sheets time and attendance solutions:

“Although there are various products on the market, these things can be somewhat technical and daunting. I couldn’t recommend highly enough for the service they provide, both pre-sale prior to purchasing the product and determining if it is right for you, but surprisingly also post-sale, showing how to use it, testing it on our system with Team Viewer and facilitating that process. I vouch for the service that Aussie Time Sheets has provided and I can say we have been happily using their product now for 12 months.”  – Henry Thay from Eagle Homes
