all say the same thing: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">daily punches go right into salary computation.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That answer feels comfortable but is also partially false, and that distinction makes all the difference. The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">attendance<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> information gets synced continuously. The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">payroll system<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> pulls the data once, and that too at the point-in-time cut-off. All the complexities in integration lie in the transition process between these two events and are rarely described anywhere. This article tells us what goes from one system to another and what happens in between.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_payroll_software_integrate_with_HRMS_and_attendance\"><\/span>How does payroll software integrate with HRMS and attendance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tankhapay.com\/payroll\/payroll-software\">Payroll software<\/a> integrates with HRMS and attendance by consuming their data at a fixed cut-off. Employee master data comes from the HRMS, and time and presence data from the attendance system, transferred through APIs, native connectors or scheduled file exchange.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subsequently, payroll applies the leave policy and calculates payable days and pays. What should be remembered here is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the direction of the flow<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payroll is a downstream process. It is not a source of information. It takes the data provided by other systems and turns it into pay. And this brings us to the rule which shall guide every integration decision made from here on out: the output of payroll is as good as the input data which comes to it from the upstream systems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A properly set-up payroll system with bad attendance data will give you the wrong payslips with confidence.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_payroll_HRMS_and_attendance_integration\"><\/span>What is payroll, HRMS and attendance integration?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three systems, three distinct jobs. Integration ensures that this happens so that data flows from one to another without anyone transporting it physically. Knowing the role of each system clarifies the importance of integration.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>HRMS holds employee information:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who works here, who does what, where he\/she works, on what compensation scale, when did he\/she join, and on what basis. This is the official record of the employee.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Attendance management holds time and presence information:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who was present, when, for how long, on which shift, and who was absent. It is the system of record for time.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Payroll software converts those two inputs into money and statutory obligation:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> payable days, wages, deductions, net pay, and forms to be filed by each agency. Integration is the process which transfers information from one database to another; it may be through API, a native link, middleware, or file transfer. However, without integration, the connection remains intact. It is done manually every month by a human being.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Payroll_data_chain\"><\/span>Payroll data chain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payroll is at the tail end of a process, and each link decides what the next will get. To label the process is the quickest way to pinpoint a payroll issue. These are errors in the input data process which payroll simply did the math on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The chain runs:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><b>Employee \u2192 HRMS \u2192 Attendance \u2192 Leave and overtime \u2192 Payroll engine \u2192 Statutory compliance \u2192 Net pay \u2192 Accounting and ERP \u2192 Reporting\u00a0<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><b>If read backward, the diagnostic significance is revealed.<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A wrong journal entry indicates payroll processing output.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An incorrect net pay calculation indicates the payroll engine or input errors into the payroll engine.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An incorrect payable period indicates leave and attendance.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An incorrect employee category indicates the HRMS system.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why payroll automation is not primarily about automating salary calculation. The calculation was never the hard part. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tankhapay.com\/blog\/payroll-automation\/\">Payroll automation<\/a> is about establishing a reliable flow of employee, attendance, leave, compensation and financial data into the payroll engine. That reframing has a practical consequence. If your payroll problems are recurring, the fix is usually upstream of payroll, and replacing the payroll system will not touch it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_integration_works_step_by_step\"><\/span>How the integration works, step by step<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seven stages, from employee record to accounting entry.

Payroll does not keep its own separate record but uses the record of the HRMS. This inconsistency takes place when both the systems have their own record and it appears on the payslip. Failure happens when there is a transfer, promotion, or any pay transaction done in the HRMS within the month.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Attendance_is_captured\"><\/span>Step 2: Attendance is captured<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time and attendance data are captured from the point of work using biometric fingerprint scanners, facial recognition technology, card readers, online check-in, mobile apps or mobile capture geofencing. Shift planning and scheduling go hand-in-hand with this to establish what the particular punch time is all about. Shortcomings of this method include failure to capture punches, breakdown of the devices, and modifications of the shift schedule in the field.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Attendance_data_is_synchronised\"><\/span>Step 3: Attendance data is synchronised<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The data then flows from the attendance system into the HRMS or directly into the payroll module. There are various methods and different platforms. An application programming interface enables the flow of data from one system to another programmatic, either continuously or on a schedule.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The<\/span> <b><i>native connector<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a pre-defined connector between two particular products.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b><i>middleware<\/i><\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a layer between the two systems that cannot interact directly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b><i>file exchange<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a way in which the data flows as structured files in a scheduled way.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b><i>direct database integration<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is possible in certain architectures but rarely used in modern cloud architectures.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two things are important to note, which are often unclear due to vendor terminology. Integration is not necessarily in real time, and a shared database is not a must for a particular platform. Things go wrong: A synchronization process running after the payroll deadline or failing silently and detected only if something seems off with the numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Leave_and_attendance_rules_are_applied\"><\/span>Step 4: Leave and attendance rules are applied<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The raw attendance record is still not used in the payroll system since it requires some interpretation on the basis of organizational policy. The approved absence is segregated from unapproved absences. The half days, late arrivals, early departures, weekly offs, and holidays are all classified. Loss of pay days are determined. Overtime hours are segregated from regular hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the validation process, and this is where the true labor is done by humans. Integration gets rid of the transfer of data. It does not get rid of the evaluation of the data. Punches that have been missed will require regularizing, exceptions will require approval, and disagreements will require resolution. Any vendor who says that integration means there is no monthly effort at all is simply talking about transfer under the guise of validation. Failure point: Volume of exceptions surpassing the amount of time available before the cutoff.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Payroll_calculates_the_salary\"><\/span>Step 5: Payroll calculates the salary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the validated input data, the payroll engine performs calculations for payable days, salary structure, overtime and shift-related pay, and deduction. Attendance-based input data influences payable days, loss of pay, overtime pay, shift allowances, and incentives based on attendance that an organization uses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A critical point to make here. The influence of being late, leaving early, or taking half a day off pay is determined only by the policy configured in your organization. There is no universal formula that payroll software uses; rather, it uses your own policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What does not work? <\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The policy configured in the attendance system is different from the policy configured in payroll.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Statutory_calculations_are_applied\"><\/span>Step 6: Statutory calculations are applied<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the earnings have been determined, the statutory deductions are made depending on the amount of salary earned.

Systems designed for such requirements include the <em><strong>enterprise payroll management software by TankhaPay<\/strong><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_integrated_payroll_helps_multi-location_businesses\"><\/span>How integrated payroll helps multi-location businesses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In those organisations where operations happen in multiple locations, attendance is recorded at those respective locations while the payroll is processed from a central system. The integration is what bridges the two. The process flow is:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attendance at each respective location\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Centralised HRMS\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payroll calculation engine\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Results consolidation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without it, there will be one file created at each location, and these will have to be consolidated by some means. With integration, the same record is created at each respective location and is read once by the payroll system. This is most significant in manufacturing, retail, logistics, construction, hospitality, health care, and staffing industries where there are multiple sites with shift workforces.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Integrated_payroll_versus_standalone_payroll\"><\/span>Integrated payroll versus standalone payroll<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Integration capabilities make the difference, not categories of products.

More detail on evaluating capability sits in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tankhapay.com\/blog\/payroll-software-features\/\">payroll software features<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_a_modern_payroll_integration_architecture_look_like\"><\/span>What does a modern payroll integration architecture look like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Described in plain terms, the architecture is a chain of systems with a defined handover at each step. Reading it top to bottom shows where each system&#8217;s data comes from and where accountability sits at each stage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>HRMS<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or employee master, holds who each person is, their role, location, salary structure and employment status. Attendance tracking and mobile applications collect presence data at the place of work.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Attendance management <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">module stores such data, applies shift rules and holds the raw time data.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Iintegration layer <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">facilitates movement of data from one system to another, which could be via APIs, native connectors, middleware or scheduled interfaces.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Payroll engine<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> takes input data and calculates earnings, deductions and net pay. Compliance and payroll validation uses legal logic and executes pre-payroll checks. Banking gets the payment instruction file. Accounting\/ERP gets the journal entries and cost allocations.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two points about this chain that need to be highlighted clearly. Accountability sits with a different owner at almost every stage, which is why integration problems are often organisational rather than technical. And the chain has one direction: fixing a downstream symptom without correcting the upstream cause produces the same problem next month. Implementation sequencing for this architecture is covered in the payroll software implementation guide.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payroll integration is not something you can compare in a chart. Payroll integration is about data movement within your organization and responsibility at the point of transfer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three lessons to take from this session:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payroll is downstream and therefore relies on the accuracy of the data from upstream processes. Integration is not only automation but also reconciliation of differences, which is the costly part of integration.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus value derived from integration goes up at a faster rate than the number of users of the system since with every new system comes more pairs of differences that need to be reconciled.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many hours do you spend every month transferring and reconciling attendance data, how many exceptions are received after cut-off, and how many corrections spill into the next cycle? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those are the numbers that will tell you how valuable integration is to you.

The link can be made through API, native connector, middleware, or file exchange to ensure that changes made once reflect throughout the system and not twice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_attendance_integrate_with_payroll\"><\/span>How does attendance integrate with payroll?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The attendance information is gathered at the time of work, synchronized with the HRMS or payroll and then evaluated according to the attendance and leave policy to calculate payable days, loss of pay, overtime, and shift payments. The payroll process uses this information in a fixed cut-off date.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_attendance_affect_payroll\"><\/span>How does attendance affect payroll?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The attendance decides the number of days to be paid, which impacts gross salary. Attendance also impacts any loss of pay and pay earned through overtime work. As statutory deductions are based on salaries payable, errors in attendance also affect Provident Fund and ESIC.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_loss_of_pay_calculated_from_attendance\"><\/span>How is loss of pay calculated from attendance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, unauthorized absence is determined based on the calculation of leave rules, and then it is changed into a deduction. There are two methods for calculating the deduction: dividing the gross monthly salary by the number of days in a month or by the number of configured working days. The second method will yield a higher deduction amount for the same absence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_data_is_transferred_from_attendance_to_payroll\"><\/span>What data is transferred from attendance to payroll?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Present days, absence, authorized\/unauthorized leave, half days, late arrival, early departure, overtime, shift worked, weekly off, and holidays. Based on the configured policy and not on the information itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_payroll_API_integration\"><\/span>What is payroll API integration?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An application programming interface allows two systems to exchange data programmatically rather than through file transfer. For payroll, this typically means attendance, leave and employee data moving automatically, either continuously or on a schedule you configure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_difference_between_integrated_and_standalone_payroll_software\"><\/span>What is the difference between integrated and standalone payroll software?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Standalone Payroll software will calculate the salary based on the information supplied by you. In contrast, integrated Payroll software will automatically take information from HRMS and attendance software.&#8221; This is because the difference lies in the integration capacity and not in the quality of software, as some of the standalone software packages integrate themselves well using interfaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_payroll_software_integrate_with_accounting_software\"><\/span>Can payroll software integrate with accounting software?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, many of the Payroll software packages have the capability to integrate themselves with Accounting software by entering the salary journal entries, Cost center entries, and Payroll liabilities.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_payroll_software_integrate_with_ERP_systems\"><\/span>Can payroll software integrate with ERP systems?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These usually do, via documented interfaces or middleware. The point is to determine which particular ERP is used, what data is exchanged, and who manages the mappings. Make sure you know your particular system rather than assuming ERP compatibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_payroll_integration_reduce_errors\"><\/span>How does payroll integration reduce errors?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By eliminating the manual step where most errors in attendance occur, as well as the reconciliation process between databases that contain duplicate information. Mistakes do not go away but are rather moved to the validation stage, where they can be seen and reviewed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_I_look_for_in_payroll_integration\"><\/span>What should I look for in payroll integration?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Device Compatibility, Availability of APIs, Configurable Frequency of Synchronization, Loss of Pay Convention Configurability, Accounting Mapping, and Failure Notification. The latter is frequently ignored, yet it is very important, as a failure will become apparent only when the payslips are printed out.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"border: 2px solid #004899; padding: 20px; border-radius: 10px; margin: 20px 0;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TankhaPay, created by Akal Information Systems \u2013 a company with 26 years\u2019 experience in payroll and statutory compliance and CMMI Level 5, ISO 9001, ISO 20000, and ISO 27001 certifications \u2013 integrates a payroll system, payroll outsourcing service, EOR service, NATS apprenticeship management, and global talent mobility solutions on one platform.
