How Payroll System Integration Can Help Your Business
Part of running HR software is not only the ability to automate most functions, but also to get other programs working with it. This is known as software integration.
Most HR software solutions can do payroll. But the best ones go further with payroll software integration, which allows you to sync your payroll system with other business-related software. It saves you from having to enter redundant information into multiple programmes and allows you to delegate some of the work to your employees.
Payroll software is frequently integrated with other HR software functions and bookkeeping software. These integrations, which are easy to set up, create seamless workflows and automate many of the processes involved in timely employee payment.
In most modern cloud-based payroll software solutions, you can find integrations for a wide range of tasks; some allow for more integrations than others.
Why Integrate?
Integration is not only desirable; it is required for effective workforce management.
If you've felt the agony of using multiple HR and payroll platforms at the same time and are ready for a change, you're not alone. According to a survey by Immedis, one of the key areas that organizations sought to improve for their payroll operations was enhanced integration with other systems.
If you're tired of working with disparate systems that don't communicate with one another, an integrated payroll system makes sense. Separate systems not only take more time and effort to maintain, but they can also result in delays and incorrect payroll actions that disadvantage your employees.
Consider the process of onboarding new employees. When you hire new employees, you may be entering some of the same information into multiple systems, including a digital employee file, a payroll system, and your benefits system. A minor mismatch between systems can result in a delayed or inaccurate paycheck.
Examples of Payroll System Integration
Accounting Software
When it comes to payroll, everything about it is critical to keeping your accounting books in order. You must keep track of everything, from taxes to benefits. Payroll system integration ensures your payroll transfers payroll data to your books automatically, via your accounting software.
Most accounting systems allow you to specify where to record payroll taxes, net wages, any benefits, and any statutory deductions. The integration eliminates the possibility of entering values incorrectly and causing errors in your general ledger or account balances. Every value is transferred to the location you specify.
Other HR Systems
When new employees come onboard a Malaysian company, they will need to set up a few tax forms. For example, form CP22 (notification of new employee) and form TP3 (employee's previous employment in the current year).
You can digitally store that information with HR software. Employee documentation is typically stored in the employee profile in HR software. All new hire paperwork, employee handbooks, and offer letters are included (if applicable). When the time comes to run payroll, all the information is already integrated and ready to go.
Another advantage of integrating HR software with your payroll system is the ability to track employee changes. Changes can include pay raises, changes to employee benefits, and resignations.
