Data imported from your payroll platform to Employment Hero

When you connect Employment Hero to your payroll platform, Employment Hero will automatically import your organisational details, payroll settings, and employee files from your chosen payroll platform.

After this initial connection, data will flow automatically from Employment Hero to your payroll platform. This automatic flow of data is not bidirectional. You can, however, manually trigger a data import from your payroll platform at any time.

During integration

Employment Hero allows you to connect your payroll platform to Employment Hero with one click, which we refer to as a one-click integration (OCI). When you first integrate your platforms, we will pull the data from the payroll platform into Employment Hero. If there is a conflict during this OCI process, you can then decide whether to use Employment Hero data or your imported payroll data.

Important

New employees who are imported from the payroll platform will not have invitation emails automatically sent out to them. To send invitation emails to these users, you will need to send invitations in bulk. To learn how to do this, refer to this article.

Ongoing synchronisation

Once you have integrated Employment Hero with your payroll platform, we will send the following data through to your payroll platform automatically.

Allowances

Important

You will use the Benefits feature for record-keeping purposes only; the benefits (allowances) set up does not sync through to your payroll platform. However, we will notify your payroll admin when you add a benefit so they receive a prompt to make the necessary updates in your organisations payroll platform.
