From individual classrooms to campuses and school districts, managing your K-12 workforce is no easy task.
Whether you’re tracking teachers’ extra duty hours and substitute assignments or ensuring payroll accuracy and FLSA compliance, the administrative burden is significant. Manual processes, paper timesheets, and disconnected systems often lead to errors, inefficiencies, and compliance risks.
TCP Software + PowerSchool: Making accurate payroll the standard, not an exception
No matter how complex your time tracking needs are, you deserve a workforce management solution that simplifies your day-to-day operations.
By connecting TCP’s automated time and attendance solutions with PowerSchool’s ERP and talent platforms, we make it easier for school districts to manage their teams, work more efficiently, and keep everything accurate from start to finish.
Together TCP and PowerSchool help our shared customers:
- Improve data visibility – Gain real-time access to employee hours, leave balances, and overtime, allowing for better budget management and decision-making.
- Ensure payroll accuracy – Automate data transfer to eliminate manual entry mistakes, ensuring employees are paid correctly and on time.
- Increase efficiency – Drastically reduce the hours spent on payroll preparation.
- Keep up with compliance – Create an audit-ready trail of all time and attendance data through automatically enforced FLSA rules, union contracts, and district-specific policies.
How TimeClock Plus and PowerSchool integrations work
As a longtime PowerSchool partner, TCP offers several integrations that help campuses and districts make accurate payroll and easy substitute management the natural outcome, not an uphill battle.
eFinancePlus + TimeClock Plus
Our bi-directional API integration with eFinancePlus simplifies school district payroll by making it easier to manage complex time tracking across multiple pay codes, job roles, and funding sources.
The process is straightforward.
As employees track their time — whether through a physical employee time clock, a web browser, or a mobile device — the data is collected and validated against your district’s rules. Approved payroll data is then formatted and sent directly to eFinancePlus, ready for your next pay run.
Key benefits of eFinancePlus and TimeClock Plus include:
- Flexible time capture – Supports salaried and hourly staff with multiple tracking options
- Accurate job costing – Allocates labor costs to correct funding sources (like assignments or grant projects) via job costing functionality
- Smoother payroll – Eliminates manual steps, reducing errors and delays
Note: If you’re in a state that has restrictions around API integration, flat file options are available.
BusinessPlus + TimeClock Plus
This integration links TimeClock Plus with BusinessPlus for connected timekeeping and payroll processes. With a simple setup, you’ll keep your data nice and neat with automatic data syncs of new employee data, leave balances, and staff changes from BusinessPlus to TimeClock Plus.
Key benefits of BusinessPlus and TimeClock Plus include:
- Automated time and attendance tracking – Keeps records up-to-date effortlessly
- Error-free payroll management – Ensures accurate, consistent data transfer
- Simplified workflows – Connects HR and time tracking for less manual work and greater efficiency
SmartFind Express + TimeClock Plus
When a teacher takes leave and a substitute accepts the assignment in SmartFind Express, that placement and teacher leave information is automatically sent to TimeClock Plus.
It’s substitute management, without all the guesswork on the backend.
Once the substitute tracks their time, TimeClock Plus passes the teacher leave and approved sub hours to the payroll system, creating a closed-loop process that ensures everyone is paid accurately – and on time – without manual intervention from your team.
Key benefits of SmartFind Express and TimeClock Plus include:
- Simpler staffing logistics – Eliminates manual entry for substitute hours
- Improved accuracy – Ensures substitutes are paid only for hours worked
- Greater visibility – Provides clear insights into assignments and hours
