Payroll is an incredibly important function, both for the organisation to make sure that their employees are paid correctly and for their employees. Paying salaries correctly and on time means employees stay focused and motivated as well as ensuring they have the capability to meet the financial demands of their lives outside work.
How does integrated HR and payroll software benefit employers?
There are many benefits of integrating HR and payroll software. Perhaps the most obvious benefit is that it can save the business time and money. By automating and integrating HR data with payroll, businesses can eliminate the need for manual data entry or double entry across a number of systems, making sure employees are paid correctly and on time.
In addition, integrated HR and payroll software helps to improve the accuracy of payroll data. By integrating payroll and HR software, businesses can ensure that all of the necessary data is captured accurately and in a timely manner. This helps to reduce the risk of errors and inaccuracies when running payroll.
Another benefit of an integrated HR and payroll system is that it can help to improve communication between the payroll service provider and other departments within the client business. By sharing data between cloud HR and payroll software, this helps to ensure that all relevant departments and suppliers have the most up-to-date information.This can help to avoid confusion, miscommunication and it also reduces the risk of errors through multiple data inputs.
What HR information can be integrated with payroll systems?
Business-critical information such as labour scheduling, absences, time and attendance, HR files, pension information and accounting systems can all be integrated with payroll software. By integrating all of these solutions, businesses save manual set-up time in entering data into multiple systems. This is done by updates flowing through from one system to another, using something called an application programming interface (‘API’).
An API is simply a connection between computers or programs. It's a software interface, allowing systems to transfer data and ‘talk’ to each other. APIs offer a ‘service’ to other pieces of software. The data and correct format is transferred from one piece of software so it can be understood by the receiving software.
APIs need to be created and follow an API specification to schedule the transfer of data automatically. The API specification also ensures that the format of the data is created so that the receiving software or solution understands the information that's provided. A simple one-way API can be set up with PayCaptain's cloud payroll software meaning any data can be transferred in real-time when changes are made.
PayCaptain can integrate with any other cloud software that has public APIs within 72 hours, ensuring you get the best HR and payroll software for your business.
