KiteClock and KitePay, from the Kite family
KitePay is the Kite family's UK payroll software. We're building a direct link, so a closed period in KiteClock sends its approved hours, holiday and sickness straight to KitePay.
Free for up to 10 people, with every feature. Not a trial.

How it works
Pair the two
Connect your KiteClock business to your KitePay employer once.
Close the period
Approve timesheets and close the pay period in KiteClock as usual.
Hours on payslips
Hours, absences and holiday balances arrive in KitePay for the matching pay period.
What the link will send
Approved hours by pay type, approved absences (so sickness and statutory leave can be paid properly), and each person's holiday balance for their payslip.
Sending again replaces what was sent before for that period, and a payslip that's already finalised refuses the change with a reason, rather than changing quietly.
- Hours, absences and holiday balances
- Re-sending replaces, never duplicates
- Finalised payslips protected
Until then
Use KiteClock's payroll files: BrightPay, Sage 50 Payroll, Xero Payroll UK timesheet lines, or a CSV with the columns you choose.
