Does Leapsome support integrations with payroll software like PayFit?
Yes, Leapsome integrates with PayFit. Once activated, the integration automatically creates a Leapsome account for every new employee onboarded in PayFit, syncing their name, email, job title, and manager, and keeps this data updated going forward (changes can take up to 24 hours to appear in Leapsome). Manager rights are assigned automatically based on your PayFit reporting lines, and changes made in PayFit override anything edited manually in Leapsome.
Which data will be transferred?
The integration transfers a variety of employee attributes from PayFit to Leapsome. Please note that - if the integration is enabled - changes in PayFit will override any changes manually made on Leapsome.
The following attributes will be synchronized by default:
| PayFit Attribute | Leapsome Attribute |
| First Name | Firstname |
| Last Name | Lastname |
| Start Date | Start Date |
| Job position | Title |
| Employee's manager | Primary Manager |
Please note, that in addition to these attributes, you can also add further information by performing a bulk Excel upload as described here.
How do I set up the PayFit integration?
To set up the PayFit integration, enable it from Leapsome's Settings and authenticate with PayFit to start the initial sync — just make sure each employee's status and professional email are set correctly in PayFit first.
Before you get started
- Please make sure that both 'status' (set to active) and 'Professional email address' need to be set in PayFit, otherwise, the employee will not be synchronized.
- Please note that this integration will use the 'Professional email address' in PayFit to create Leapsome accounts. Please make sure to not have any personal email addresses within the 'Professional email address' field in PayFit, as this will lead to problems with further integration (e.g. Outlook, Google Calendar, Slack or Microsoft Teams).
Setting up the integration
You can set up our PayFit integration as follows:
- In your Leapsome 'Settings' > 'Integrations and imports', navigate to the 'HRIS integrations' and select 'PayFit'.
- Tick the 'Enable the integration' checkbox.
- Click 'Update & Synchronize'.
- You will be redirected to PayFit (and might have to log in) - once authenticated, you will be redirected back to Leapsome and the initial sync will start automatically.
- You can check the status of your integration in the PayFit Integration Hub
Optional Settings
- If you enable the option 'Automatically send Leapsome invites to new employees', each user who is (newly) synced from PayFit will automatically receive an invite to join Leapsome. If you disable this option, we will sync the employee data but not send an invite. You can then manually send the invite from the 'Edit employees' tab.
- If you enable the option 'Automatically reactivate Leapsome accounts of employees that are marked as active in the source system', Leapsome will automatically reactivate a user once the status in PayFit of that user got changed back to 'active‘.
