Simplify your processes and reduce payroll errors with real-time T&A.
The team at Sona were very helpful and incredibly accommodating to all our requirements, ensuring that we could roll out very quickly and with minimal effort needed on our part.
The system is very well used and is now in all our homes with great results, with not just financial benefits seen but colleague morale having increased as they can easily see their rotas and also pick up extra shifts as they want to.

In real-time.
Make payroll easy and accurate with:
Location-specific hours tracking makes it easy to trust your hours data with employees.
Our easy to use exception handling saves managers more than 5 hours per week.
Track rota compliance and contracted hours so you only pay for worked hours.
Our location-based time tracking technology ensures that managers will be able to see if employees were in the right location at check-in. If an employee checks in or out early or late, they’ll be required to submit their reason for exception handling.
Book a demoForget about old and time-consuming ways of checking and approving timesheets. Our user-friendly timesheets solution makes it effortless to check and approve timesheets in bulk or one by one.
Book a demoWith real-time hours tracking, you’ll never be paying for hours that weren’t worked. We help you simplify and optimise the payroll process by giving you access to real-time data in the Sona data suite. See reports, manage exceptions and export to payroll all in one intuitive interface.

Want to learn more about how we can work with your systems?
It makes it easier for staff to track their hours as they go. Being able to clock in and out with a tap prevents guesswork, and they’re less likely to forget to log their hours.
That means overall hours reports are more reliable, and your payroll is more accurate. Only pay for the time that’s been worked.
It makes managers more productive. The hours logged by their teams and the reasons for any differences between scheduled and worked hours are always available to them in the system - no need to spend time chasing down explanations or missing timesheets.
Instantly access live attendance records - know exactly who’s in the building in case of an emergency.
Yes, Sona integrates with a range of payroll software providers. Your time and attendance data can also be easily exported in a number of formats, too.
And if we don’t have an integration with your system set up already, we’ll custom build it for you.
Yes. We can provide on-site kiosks on request (iPad or similar tablet) which staff can use their unique passcode to clock in and out.
Sona’s real-time Time and Attendance system makes it easy to track who is on site at all times.
Whether you want to access historical reports for compliance purposes or see current site attendance for fire safety, we’ve got you covered.
