JobAdder Integration

Zynk's JobAdder integration exports approved timesheets from JobAdder, complete with placement, candidate, client and rate details, and delivers them to the finance systems that bill clients and pay contractors. It is built for recruitment agencies with temp and contract desks that want to invoice from approved hours in Xero, Sage or QuickBooks and hand payroll a clean file each period.

Benefits

Why businesses connect JobAdder

Bill clients from approved hours

Approved JobAdder timesheets can become sales invoices in Xero, Sage 50, Sage Business Cloud Accounting or QuickBooks, priced from the client charge rate on the placement. Consultants stop copying hours into the accounts at the end of each week.

A payroll file every period

The same timesheets can be written out as a CSV file in the layout your payroll software or bureau expects, then uploaded over SFTP. Pay rates come from the placement, so what contractors are paid matches what was agreed.

Only approved time moves

Zynk exports timesheets at the status you choose, typically Approved, so hours still waiting for client sign-off never reach an invoice or a pay run.

Margin visible to finance

Each exported timesheet carries both the client charge rate and the candidate pay rate. Finance can post income and cost against the same placement and report margin by client or placement without keeping a separate spreadsheet.

Weekly cycles without the scramble

Exports run over a rolling date window, picking up timesheets approved since the last period. Invoicing and payroll can start on Monday morning with the previous week's hours already in place.

The problem

Why integrate JobAdder?

On a temp or contract desk, every approved timesheet has to turn into two things: a client invoice and a line on the payroll. When JobAdder is not connected to finance, both are built by hand from the same hours, rates are checked twice, and a late approval can mean a contractor is paid while the client is never billed.

Without integration

  • Approved hours copied from JobAdder into the accounts line by line
  • Payroll spreadsheets rebuilt from timesheet reports every week
  • Charge rates checked by hand against each placement
  • Hours paid to a contractor but never invoiced to the client

With Zynk

  • Approved timesheets export and become client invoices
  • A payroll file is produced from the same export
  • Rates come straight from the JobAdder placement
  • Billing and pay run from one set of approved timesheets

How it works

How the JobAdder integration works

  1. Step 1: Connect JobAdder

    Zynk connects to your JobAdder account through JobAdder's API, authorised by a JobAdder administrator, and to your accounting system or your payroll provider's SFTP server.

  2. Step 2: Pick the status and period

    Choose which timesheet status to export, such as Approved, and the rolling period each run should cover, for example the last seven days.

  3. Step 3: Map clients, rates and codes

    JobAdder companies map to customer accounts, placements to invoice lines and pay rates to the columns your payroll provider needs, with nominal codes and tax set per client or job type.

  4. Step 4: Invoice and pay on schedule

    The workflow runs weekly or daily, creates invoices in finance, writes and uploads the payroll file, then reports any timesheet that could not be processed so it can be checked.

JobAdder integration FAQs

Can JobAdder timesheets be invoiced in Xero?
Yes. Zynk exports approved timesheets from JobAdder and creates sales invoices in Xero using the client charge rates on each placement. You decide whether to invoice per timesheet, per placement or per client, and which Xero accounts and tracking categories the lines use.
Does JobAdder work with Sage accounting through Zynk?
Yes. Zynk connects JobAdder timesheets to Sage 50 UK and Sage Business Cloud Accounting. Approved hours become sales invoices on the client's account, coded to the nominal accounts you choose, so the sales ledger reflects billable time without manual entry.
What timesheet data does Zynk export from JobAdder?
Each export includes the timesheet period, daily entries, submission and approval details, and the related placement, including the job, candidate, client company, contact and contract rates. Only timesheets at the status you select, such as Approved, are included.
Can JobAdder timesheets go to payroll automatically?
Yes, as a file. Zynk can convert approved timesheets to CSV in the layout your payroll software or bureau imports, then upload it by SFTP or save it to a shared folder. Candidate pay rates come from the placement, so the file reflects what was agreed.
Is there a JobAdder API that Zynk connects to?
Yes. JobAdder provides an API, which Zynk uses to read timesheets and the placements they belong to. A JobAdder administrator authorises the connection during setup, and Zynk looks after it from then on.
Can Zynk import data into JobAdder?
Not at present. The JobAdder connector exports timesheets only. If you need placements, candidates or invoices to move in other directions, talk to us, and we'll tell you plainly what is possible before any work starts.
What do you need from us to set up a JobAdder integration?
Tell us how you bill clients and pay contractors today, which accounting system you use and how your payroll provider takes data. We'll trace a timesheet from JobAdder through to an invoice and a payroll line, then agree the schedule with you.
