The hours are already in the system. Stop retyping them.
Every shift, sign-on and leave day is already recorded - for drivers, rota staff and office staff alike. Payroll turns that into a period export your provider can read, with your multipliers and working-time rules applied rather than reconstructed from paper.
Paid from what actually happened.
Hours come from sign-on, not a timesheet
The export is built from the rota - the shifts your staff were actually rostered and worked, with break time split into paid and unpaid. For drivers it's tighter still: they sign on digitally at the start of a duty, so the hours carry the time, the device and the location behind them. Either way you're paying against what the system recorded, not a sheet somebody filled in from memory on Friday afternoon.
Preview before you commit
Run the period and read it on screen first - per employee, with leave and bank holidays already folded in. Spot the anomaly while you can still fix it, rather than after it's gone to your provider and someone's been underpaid.
Rates and multipliers held once
Pay templates set the rules; each employee carries an effective-dated rate history, so a mid-year rise applies from the right date rather than being back-calculated by hand. Overtime multipliers and the working-time night-work cap are configured once and applied every period.
Period close, without the spreadsheet.
Staff work their shifts
Each shift is recorded as it happens - and for drivers, the digital sign-on adds the time and audit trail behind it.
Leave folds in
Approved leave and bank holidays land in the same period automatically - no separate absence sheet to merge.

Common questions
No, and we're deliberate about that. RouteStra produces the hours and the pay data for a period; your payroll provider or accountant does the PAYE calculation and the filing. We're removing the re-keying step between your rota and their system, not replacing your payroll bureau.
