Ciphr’s fully cloud-based, API-led integration aims to revolutionise HR and payroll operations by fostering stronger, more impactful collaboration between these two essential business functions. For the first time, thanks to the system’s new pause/resume data synchronisation capabilities, HR and payroll teams now have complete, continuous control over their respective data transfer.

HR admins no longer have to worry about making changes to people data that could impact pay calculations, especially after pay cut off dates, and can make their updates as required. And payroll admins can temporarily pause and restart real-time data syncs any time they need to, enabling them to make vital updates (such as a late pay change or bank detail amendments). They have full, selective control over data flows – preventing any unintended mass updates – and any individual adjustments will reflect on employees’ payslips immediately. Ciphr’s intelligent queuing means no data is lost while synchronisation is paused.

This true, real-time integration between Ciphr’s HR and payroll systems streamlines HR and payroll processes like never before. It’s smarter, less admin intensive, and removes the inefficiencies and friction caused by disconnected systems.

Key benefits of Ciphr’s integrated HR and payroll solution include:

· Real-time data synchronisation via open API integration

· Pause/resume data synchronisation for payroll admins

· Selective data processing

· 24/7 access, and full HR and payroll customer support

· Intuitive navigation and workflows

· Audit reporting and change tracking

· Built-in compliance presets

· Consolidated view of real-time people and pay data

· Time and cost savings

Sion Lewis, CEO of Ciphr, says: “Modern business demands better processes, better use of people data, and better-connected systems that help people to do their best work. The launch of Ciphr’s powerful, integrated HR and payroll system is a very exciting development. It’s an important investment in our product and customers, and highlights our continuing commitment to amplifying the pivotal role of HR and payroll professionals in delivering business success.

“We spent time listening to our customers to fully understand their needs, their challenges, priorities and pain points. So we ensure we’re delivering innovation that the market will value, and that helps our HR and payroll customers work smarter, more efficiently, and stay compliant. Ciphr’s integrated solution ticks all the boxes. It’s been designed by HR and payroll professionals, for HR and payroll professionals, and it’s been very positively received.”

Simon Witkiss, chief product officer at Ciphr, adds: “Making sure employees are paid accurately and on time is critical. HR and payroll teams often feel intense pressure to get pay runs right. Because when payroll doesn’t go smoothly, it causes frustration and more work for everyone. And it can be a point of friction between HR and payroll – particularly around data access and data flow. It’s something that we’re acutely aware of from our Customer Advisory Group research, and we’ve been actively looking to address with our new product developments.

“Ciphr’s new HR and payroll integration streamlines everything. It gives payroll teams control over data flow – they can turn the tap on and off and be selective about what they process – while allowing HR teams to continue to manage their system without any pauses to HR data processing. This reduces the possibility of errors and, ultimately, means both functions can work more efficiently together because neither is being held back by the other. Everyone’s happier and, based on our feedback, it's a more delightful user experience all round.”

The system is available for HR and payroll departments to demo now.
