GreytHR integration for Zoho People

Introduction

Zoho People has integrated with greytHR to simplify the payroll experience. This integration is available only for India, Middle East and Africa. The type of data that can be synced includes basic employee information, locations, pay cycle and LOP data. More specific information to be synced includes Email Address, Employee ID, Gender, Date of Birth, Date of Joining, Employee Type, Designation, Department, and Location. 

Employee data will be synced only when the records match the conditions set under 'Location' and 'Employee Type' in your payroll preferences. For example, if the Location is chosen as Mumbai, and the Employee Type is chosen as on contract, then the data of only those employees who are in Mumbai and are on contract will be synced. 

Integrate with greytHR

 The Super administrator alone can configure the initial greytHR integration. Once an admin is assigned as the payroll admin by the super admin, both the super admin and the payroll admin will be able to access the integration. If the super admin does not assign a payroll admin, they will automatically become the payroll admin for the integration.

If you have an active organizational account in Zoho People, you will be able to sync with greytHR from the Integrations tab of Zoho People's Admin Console. Your Zoho People email address and password are sufficient for you to access greytHR.

If you already have an existing greytHR account, it can be synced with your Zoho People account.

In some cases, you may have to sync left out data into greytHR. The Quick Push option pushes data of specific employees to greytHR. This helps if data for some employees has to be pushed again due to some error or if was left out while being pushed/auto-synced.

If your organization operates across multiple entities with separate greytHR accounts (for example, two different entities in varied locations), you can link these accounts using the Add Existing Payroll Organization button. Simply add additionals account to integrate. Use the View button to see details for each linked account, and toggle the switch to enable or disable sync for that specific account.



Update edited data in greytHR

After syncing your employee data with greytHR, there may be instances when you would like to edit it. Such edits will be automatically synced with greytHR.Edited data gets automatically updated under the following conditions:
  1. When there is an edit in any information it will be synced, provided the employee (whose details are edited) is mapped to the location and the employee type that is mentioned in the preference.
  1. If there is an edit in either the location or the employee type and this does not abide by the conditions that you have defined in the Settings, then the details will not get updated in greytHR.
  1. If a location is removed in Zoho People's Integration Settings, that location's employees will automatically be excluded from greytHR's payroll processing.
  1. If any change regarding location or employee type is done in the employee form and if the changed location and employee type do not come under the specified payroll preference, the employee will be excluded from the payroll process.

Process Payroll

The following data from Zoho People is utilized by greytHR to process payroll.

Employee Database
  1. All information needed for payroll processing -  Date of Birth, Date of Joining, Location, Department, Designation, Employee Type, Employee ID, Email Address, Gender, will be synced to greytHR as a result of this integration.
  1. Employee records that match the conditions set for 'Location' and 'Employee Type' in your payroll preferences will be synced.
  1. All fields mapped under Field Mapping will also be synced.
Notes
Note: The first sync will be a manual sync following which data will be synced automatically for further additions, edits and deletions made to employee records.

Loss of Pay details report

Once a pay period is configured for the Leave Module in Zoho People, the Loss of pay details gets captured automatically in this report. Once the sync is successful with greytHR, the LOP data can be pushed to greytHR and payroll can be processed based on the number of days of loss of pay captured.

Configuring Pay Cycle

In order to process payroll, it is mandatory that the payroll be initiated for that period in greytHR.
To set this up:
  1. From your homepage, go to Settings > Marketplace > Configure / View Details (within GreytHR tile).
  2. Go to Integration Settings tab and click Admin Login.
  3. In the top right corner, you will see a drop-down with each month listed.

  1. Click Create Payroll for the month for which you are pushing data to ensure payroll has been initiated for that month.

Push LOP Data to greytHR

Once a pay period is configured for the Leave Module in Zoho People, the Loss of Pay details gets captured automatically in the LOP details report, as 'Carry over' leave. After the processing day( set under 'Pay Period Settings'), you can manually add the carry over details as 'Loss of Pay', which in turn can be pushed to greytHR. Once the sync is successful, the LOP report data can be pushed to greytHR and payroll can be processed based on the number of days of Loss of Pay captured.

Follow these steps to push LOP data to greytHR. 
  1. From your home page, go to Reports > Leave > Loss of pay details
  2. Click the ellipsis icon in the top right corner and select Push to Payroll
  3. Select the Location and Payroll Cycle and click Push
The LOP data of employees in the selected Location and Payroll cycle will get pushed to greytHR. .If you wish to push LOP data of all the employees in a selected location, don't select any employees at all. By default, the LOP data of all the employees in the selected Location and Payroll cycle will get pushed to greytHR. If you wish to push LOP data of specific users alone, select the users from Selected Users dropdown. Now the LOP data of the selected users will be pushed to greytHR. The data should be manually pushed every month, and this option will be visible only if the integration is active.

  2. Check the box under I wish to for Enable employees to access greytHR from Self-Service page

Field Mapping

Under Field Mapping, you can map Zoho People's employee fields to the corresponding GreytHR fields and sync data for these fields, along with the basic fields.
  1. Map any field from the employee form apart from these basic fields: Date of Birth, Date of Joining, Location, Department, Designation, Employee Type, Employee ID, Email ID, and Gender.
  2. You can't map tabular section fields from the employee form.
  3. Ensure you map the appropriate fields in order to sync the proper data. 
To do Field Mapping:
  1. Click on the Field Mapping tab.

  2. Click Map fields.
  3. Select the fields in Zoho People and the corresponding fields to be mapped to in greytHR.

  4. Click Save and Update.
