Australian web-based human resource (HR) management software

About Microkeeper

Microkeeper is a web-based human resource (HR) management software that is designed for Australian businesses in retail, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, and other industries. It helps organizations handle rostering, timesheet generation, and payroll management, among other administrative operations on a centralized platform.

Microkeeper's staff scheduling functionality allows team leaders to utilize pre-designed rostering templates to manage staff availability across multiple departments and locations. The payroll module lets HR professionals automatically calculate payroll based on pre-set shift rules and avoid underpayment or overpayment errors, whilst maintaining compliance with Single Touch Payroll (STP) guidelines. With the core HR tools, supervisors can create job contracts, send offer letters, manage employee onboarding, track licenses, and monitor staff leave requests. It also provides fingerprint or facial recognition based biometrics and geofencing technology to avoid buddy punching and track employee time and location across field staff.

Microkeeper offers an API, which allows businesses to integrate the platform with several third party solutions, including Xero. The self-service portal lets employees handle personal data, access historical payslips, and update bank account details.

Microkeeper has become an indispensable tool for us, and I highly recommend it to any business looking to streamline their payroll process and gain better control over their expenses.

Pros

it has completely transformed the way we manage payroll and rosters. The automation features have cut down our payroll processing time by an impressive 70%, allowing us to focus more on other aspects of our business.

One of the standout features is the visibility on costs as soon as we prepare the rosters. This real-time insight gives us much better control over wages, which is our biggest expense.

Cons

It doesn't calculate the payroll tax correctly for WA

Plenty of room for improvement

Reviewed on 06/11/2020

Pros

When is working properly it is far more efficient than using a spreadsheet. The calculations and systems seem accurate and relative robust. Support are always quick to respond, albeit dismissive and not particularly helpful.

Cons

There are many short comings with the software and the organisation is slow remedy them (if at all), the most noteable of which are as follows:
1) Employee Payslip disclose information (pertaining to taxable income) in a way that is factually wrong and cannot be corrected (or simplified).
2) Reports are hard to read and often do not contain all information necessary to properly understand them.
3) Data integrations with software platforms like Xero and MYOB are prone to error and no process to safeguard/identify errors. Additional shortcoming means this issue recurs each time a correction or change is required.
I understand that the software is in development, but as a user (facing the above challenges) this provides little consolation.

Response from Microkeeper

Hi Alfred,

I appreciate that you're taking the time to leave a review and am glad you're indicating the overall quality and value for money we offer means we're doing some things right.

I also appreciate some of your feedback regarding the reports and robustness of data integration. This helps us to focus our future development on areas users identify as having room for improvement. As a sidenote, Microkeeper is not "in development" as such, but we do continually add updates and features.

Your feedback regarding the payslips however is wrong. I can assure you these are built to the standards of the Australian Taxation Office. As a software provider, we work closely with a specialised department within the ATO, and we have an excellent working relationship with them.

I'm also sorry to hear you experience your customer service through our reseller channel as dismissive and unhelpful. We take this feedback seriously and we'll follow this up with your point of contact.

Growing business ... Microkeeper keeps up!

Reviewed on 29/07/2024

Pros

I've been using Microkeeper for my growing not for profit, with numerous departments, and rather quirky pay rate rules, etc. And Microkeeper has been such a time saver. What used to take me up to an hour with 8 employees now takes me less than 20 minutes with up to 19 employees with various rates, rules, timesheets, and such. I have also started playing with the Skills feature and see so much potential for our needs. Now to use the time I've saved to setup some Skills rules and save even more!

Cons

I have found the rostering system a bit cumbersome for the numerous different departments I manage which all have their quirks and different schedules weekly. But for a single department or more formalised roster, it would work a treat!
