Operations
The system that assigns the caseload should run the payroll.
Clock-in, shift differentials, PTO, and hours worked in the same platform as the schedule — then pushed to Gusto, ADP, or Paychex instead of retyped into them.
Integrates, doesn't replace. Keep the payroll processor you already use.
One pay period
Hours recorded against the shift they were assigned to.
Clock-in happens against the schedule, so approved hours already know which unit, which shift, and which differential applies. Nothing is transcribed from a second system.

Why it belongs here
Labour is the largest line item in a treatment program by a wide margin.
Payroll usually dwarfs rent, software, and everything else combined. Managing it in a system that does not know who was assigned to the unit is how overtime becomes visible only after it is paid.
One source of hours
Schedule and timesheet agree
Clock-in is matched to the assigned shift, so a variance between scheduled and worked hours is visible on the day rather than at the end of the period.
- Overtime flagged as it accrues
- Differentials applied by rule
- Missed punches surfaced for approval
- PTO balances visible to staff
Keep your processor
Integrates, does not replace
Approved hours export to Gusto, ADP, or Paychex. Unisona Health handles the timekeeping, your payroll provider still handles the tax filing.
- No change to your payroll provider
- No re-keying between systems
- Approvals recorded with a name
- Corrections tracked, not overwritten
Coverage
Who is clocked in and who is assigned to the unit should be one screen.
In a 24-hour setting those are the same operational question. Splitting them across two systems is how a shift ends up short without anyone noticing until it already is.
Questions
Common questions.
Does Unisona Health handle timekeeping and payroll?
It handles timekeeping. Clock-in, shift differentials, PTO and hours worked live in the same platform as the schedule — clock-in is matched to the assigned shift, so approved hours already know the unit, the shift and the differential without anything being transcribed from a second system.
Do I have to switch payroll providers?
No. Unisona Health integrates rather than replaces: approved hours export to Gusto, ADP or Paychex, so Unisona Health handles the timekeeping while your existing payroll provider still handles the tax filing. There’s no re-keying between systems.
How does it help control labor cost?
Labor is the largest line item in a treatment program by a wide margin, so tying hours to the schedule makes overtime visible as it accrues rather than after it’s paid. Differentials apply by rule, missed punches surface for approval, variances between scheduled and worked hours show on the day, and corrections are tracked rather than overwritten.
