Top reasons to automate Planday in the browser
Eliminate double entry for holidays and shift types: a PixieBrix automation can read a holiday approval in Planday and write the matching shift record in one click with no second manual step
Sync timesheet exports directly to payroll without leaving the browser: clip approved hours from Planday's schedule view and push them to QuickBooks, Xero, or any payroll tool without copy-pasting
Embed employee HR profile data (employment type, pay rate, department) pulled from your HR system directly in the Planday scheduling sidebar without switching tabs to cross-reference records
Pre-fill new-employee setup forms across Planday and payroll using a single source of truth, reducing onboarding data entry errors
Works as a browser extension on top of Planday's web app with no API credentials or IT project required, unlike Zapier or iPaaS integrations
AI Copilot in the sidebar can summarize shift coverage gaps, draft handover notes, or flag pay-code mismatches using data already on screen

Planday frustrations that cost your team hours every week
  • Timesheets and attendance data are not automatically converted for payroll processing; managers must manually re-enter data into their payroll system after exporting from Planday
  • Holiday tracking requires double entry: adding holidays through the holiday account function and then adding a separate holiday shift on the schedule for payroll costs to appear correctly in Xero or other integrations
  • Context switching between Planday, the payroll system, and the HR tool to reconcile shift data, employee records, and pay codes is a daily friction point for shift managers
  • Salary/pay codes mapped incorrectly between Planday and payroll systems require manual lookups across two tabs to diagnose mismatches
  • No easy way to pull an employee's HR profile or employment status from an external HR system into the scheduling view without leaving Planday
  • Onboarding new employees requires typing the same name, role, and department data into Planday and separately into the HR or payroll tool
