The Lightspeed Restaurant (O-series) Point of Sale (POS) timesheet integration seamlessly connects your POS platform with Employment Hero Payroll. It simplifies importing clock-in and clock-out data, ensuring employee timesheets are accurately synced with your payroll platform. While Lightspeed doesn’t support location-based wage tracking, Employment Hero Payroll serves as the source of truth for this functionality.
To start, enable the Time and Attendance add-on in your Lightspeed POS. For step-by-step instructions, refer to this article.
This integration reduces administrative tasks and improves the accuracy of timesheet data.
Important
When importing timesheets from your Lightspeed POS platform, your employee and location data within your payroll platform must match the data imported from your Kounta platform. We recommend you use the Import Employees feature to make sure a matching employee and location date between the two platforms.
Warning
Timesheets will only flow from the HR platform to your payroll platform; this data connection is not bidirectional. Timesheet submissions in the payroll platform will not flow to the HR platform. We advise you to submit any timesheet via the HR platform's Timesheet feature.
