APIs and Data Transfer

Payroll is not a stand-alone function within your business. It is a central link between employees, finance, HR, pension providers and HMRC. Ensuring that all these links are correctly set up is critical to prevent wasting your time and ultimately costing your business money.

LivePay can work with external systems to provide integrations in a variety of ways to ensure your payroll process is seamless. There are several different ways in which a system can be linked to LivePay, which will all drastically reduce the amount of time taken for payroll processing compared with standard double entry methods.

When you work with LivePay, your project/implementation Manager can help you choose which method is best for your circumstances. This will enable the most effective use of LivePay’s unique automation system, saving you precious hours in your day.

CSV File Transfer

As with all good payroll systems, LivePay can data load spreadsheets output from your other data collection systems (such as time and attendance, HR or roster systems) as ‘.csv’ files.  We have a flexible data load format for spreadsheets, so providing we have the employee number that matches the payroll and one data type per column we can load this.

CSV files can be transferred directly via an SFTP or file upload into the secure LivePay portal, meaning no need to have several copies sent to several different people/areas.

LivePay can also produce customisable CSV output files which can then be directly loaded into other systems – such as pension files, accounts journals or KPI data to name but a few. These can be set up yourself or our Support Team are on hand to do this for you, all at no extra cost.

API

LivePay has an Application Programming Interface (API) end point that payroll data can be posted to directly from your other systems. This vital software creates a seamless link between payroll and your other workforce management systems.

“Of the 18 HR system API installation projects I am running globally, this has been one of the easiest for our over 2,000 employees in the UK that are on the LivePay payroll system” – Customer API project manager

Partnerships / integrations

LivePay shares mutual partnerships with several complementary systems meaning data can be transferred directly from one system to the other, securely, and safely.

Breathe HR

With Breathe HR we can access your Breathe account via the API and extract your employee data so you do not need to enter employee details, such as change of address, more than once. LivePay do this each payroll cycle and check the information we have is up to date and correct.

We can also provide payslips in a format which can be downloaded from the LivePay portal then loaded straight into Breathe through their payslip upload tool, without the need for any intervention. We can make other documents available to be uploaded through the employee document uploader too, meaning the payroll information you need can be held in one place without needing to log in to multiple places.
