Overview
Integrating Employment Hero with your KeyPay platform makes Employment Hero your source of truth for information such as company settings, payroll settings, and employee file data. When you connect the two platforms, Employment Hero will import your organisation details, payroll settings, and employee files from your KeyPay platform automatically.
After this initial connection, the data will only flow automatically from Employment Hero to your KeyPay platform, as this data connection is not bidirectional. Thereby meaning Employment Hero becomes your source of truth, where you and your employees update details as they change, and, once saved, those changes would automatically reflect in your KeyPay platform.

Author recommended
So you have now set up your KeyPay and HR platform integration and you are now wondering what next can I do. There are two recommendations I would make on this front and they are:
- HR platform: Payroll integration issues dashboard This feature displays your organisation's sync errors broken down into three areas: employee file, leave requests and timesheets.
- Manage my organisations leave categories - HR Web Platform This feature allows you to synchronise the leave categories created on your KeyPay platform and make them selectable within your HR platform.
