Payroll + People Integration

Payroll + People Integration in Zoho Payroll syncs employee data and attendance records from Zoho People to Zoho Payroll, automating leave and LOP calculations for accurate payroll processing.

Payroll + People Integration in Zoho Payroll is the native connection between Zoho People (HRMS) and Zoho Payroll that synchronises employee records, attendance data, and leave balances. When enabled, new employees added in Zoho People flow to Zoho Payroll, leave approvals update LOP calculations automatically, and salary changes in Zoho People trigger updates in Zoho Payroll, reducing duplicate data entry and manual errors.

What Data Syncs Between Zoho People and Zoho Payroll

The integration syncs: employee personal details (name, PAN, UAN, bank account), employment details (designation, department, date of joining), salary details (salary structure assignment, component values), attendance records and leave balances for LOP computation, and employee exits for final settlement triggers. Data flows primarily from Zoho People to Zoho Payroll.

Leave and Attendance Sync for Payroll

The most impactful sync is attendance and leave data. Zoho People’s leave management module tracks approved leaves and absences. When integrated with Zoho Payroll, approved leave data auto-populates in the pay run, and days without leave balance trigger LOP deductions automatically. This eliminates the manual step of entering LOP days in each pay run.

Onboarding and Exit Workflows

When HR adds a new employee in Zoho People and completes the onboarding checklist, the employee is automatically created in Zoho Payroll with the assigned salary structure. Similarly, when an exit is processed in Zoho People (separation date entered), Zoho Payroll is notified to trigger the full and final settlement process. This end-to-end automation reduces the payroll admin’s workload significantly.

Example: HR adds a new joiner in Zoho People on April 5. The employee profile, salary structure, and bank details sync to Zoho Payroll within minutes. In April’s pay run, the new employee appears automatically with a partial period salary for April 5-30. No manual entry in Zoho Payroll is required.
What is Payroll + People Integration in Zoho Payroll?

Payroll + People Integration connects Zoho People (HRMS) with Zoho Payroll to sync employee records, attendance, leave data, and salary details. New joiners and exits flow automatically between the two systems. Leave balances and attendance records auto-populate LOP calculations in pay runs, reducing manual payroll preparation time.

Does the Zoho People and Zoho Payroll integration handle LOP automatically?

Yes. When attendance and leave data from Zoho People is synced, Zoho Payroll automatically calculates LOP days for employees whose absences exceed their leave balance. These LOP days appear pre-populated in the draft pay run for admin review, eliminating the need for manual LOP entry each month.
