Human Resources is no longer just about managing attendance or processing salaries — it’s about creating a connected, seamless experience for employees and ensuring that data flows effortlessly across every HR function.
Yet, many organizations still struggle with disjointed systems — one tool for attendance, another for payroll, and spreadsheets in between. This leads to errors, duplication, and hours of manual work every month.
That’s where the integration between Zoho People and Zoho Payroll comes in — transforming HR operations from fragmented to fully automated. Together, they form a unified HRMS ecosystem that helps businesses save time, improve accuracy, and deliver a better employee experience.
💬 As one of our clients shared after implementing the Zoho HRMS solution with ITOTCloud Systems,
“Every payroll cycle used to be a stress test. Now, it’s just another day at work. The integration between Zoho People and Payroll gave us accuracy, confidence, and control — all in one place.”
Unified Employee Database and Data Flow
With most HR setups, the same employee details are entered multiple times across different systems — once in HR software, again in payroll, and sometimes even manually for compliance reports. This redundancy not only wastes time but also opens the door to mistakes.
When Zoho People integrates with Zoho Payroll, all employee data — such as designation, department, joining date, salary structure, and statutory details — flows automatically between the two systems.
Any update made in Zoho People instantly reflects in Zoho Payroll, whether it’s a promotion, transfer, or resignation. This eliminates double data entry and ensures HR, payroll, and compliance teams always work with the same, accurate information.
For HR managers, it means less manual coordination. For employees, it means consistency — their records, pay slips, and leave data always match perfectly.
At ITOTCloud Systems, we help businesses configure this integration based on their structure — ensuring that employee master data, pay components, and statutory details are synced without any gaps.
Automated Attendance and Leave Sync
One of the most critical aspects of payroll processing is ensuring that attendance and leave data are accurate. Yet, for many HR teams, this remains a tedious, manual process.
With the Zoho People–Payroll integration, attendance and leave information automatically syncs with payroll during each pay period. You can define which leave types are paid, unpaid, or carry-forwardable, and Zoho Payroll calculates salaries accordingly.
For instance:
If an employee takes unpaid leave, Zoho Payroll adjusts the salary automatically.
Overtime hours captured in Zoho People are reflected in payroll as additional earnings.
Any approved leave or shift adjustment immediately updates in the pay cycle.
This automation removes the need for end-of-month reconciliations and manual LOP (Loss of Pay) calculations. HR teams gain time, accuracy, and peace of mind — knowing that payroll is based on verified, real-time attendance data.
Simplified Payroll Processing and Salary Computation
Payroll is one of the most sensitive and time-bound HR functions. Even a small mistake can lead to employee dissatisfaction or compliance risks.
Zoho Payroll, when integrated with Zoho People, automates every step — from salary computation and deductions to payslip generation and statutory filings. The system handles multiple pay schedules, variable components, and complex salary structures with ease.
The result? Payroll processing that once took days can now be completed in just a few clicks.
At ITOTCloud Systems, we tailor Zoho Payroll configurations to match your specific requirements — including pay cycles, earnings and deduction rules, and department-based salary components. This ensures accuracy, consistency, and complete transparency every month.
Effortless Statutory Compliance
Compliance is non-negotiable, and manual handling of PF, ESI, TDS, and PT deductions can be error-prone and time-consuming. Zoho Payroll automatically applies relevant statutory rules based on employee and organizational details, ensuring that deductions are always accurate and compliant.
You can generate statutory reports like PF challans, ESI summaries, Form 16, and TDS filings instantly — all based on real-time payroll data.
When combined with Zoho People, the compliance process becomes even smoother because attendance, leave, and salary data are perfectly aligned. No missing entries, no manual calculations — just accurate, audit-ready records.
ITOTCloud Systems assists clients in setting up their compliance preferences and regional tax configurations, ensuring the system handles all statutory requirements automatically.
Empowering Employees with Self-Service
Today’s employees expect transparency and accessibility when it comes to their HR information. With the Zoho People and Payroll integration, employees get a single self-service portal where they can:
View payslips and tax summaries
Check attendance and leave balances
Submit reimbursement claims
Download investment declarations and Form 16
This transparency reduces HR workload, builds trust, and enhances employee satisfaction. It also minimizes back-and-forth communication for simple queries — employees get the answers they need instantly, right from their dashboards.
Analytics and Decision-Making Made Smarter
When HR and payroll systems are integrated, data becomes a powerful decision-making tool. HR teams can now analyze trends like absenteeism, overtime costs, and payroll expenses across departments — all from a single dashboard.
Zoho People’s analytics provide insights into workforce productivity, while Zoho Payroll gives visibility into financial impact. Together, they help HR leaders make informed decisions about workforce planning, compensation strategies, and budgeting.
At ITOTCloud Systems, we create custom reports and dashboards for clients to help them track key HR and payroll metrics effortlessly — empowering them to make data-driven HR decisions.
