Move payroll data into your current payroll software

You do not need new payroll software to improve payroll inputs. Our payroll interfaces sit between Kelio's time and attendance data and your existing payroll system, so your team keeps the payroll tools it already knows.

Works with payroll software already in place
Fits in-house payroll and outsourced payroll models
Helps HR and payroll teams avoid duplicate entry
Gives a defined, lower-effort data transfer project

Transfer the payroll data your teams already track

Kelio exports the variable payroll data that matters at month-end. This gives your payroll team one structured source instead of multiple manual inputs.

Full attendance data: regular, scheduled, required, actual total, remunerated
Additional attendance: overtime, extra shifts, holidays worked, time off in lieu
Balances: opening, carried over, final, paid
Absences: holiday, sickness, totals in days or hours, frequency
Other variable elements: external visits, bonuses, incentives, vouchers, gift cards

Good to know

Validated time and attendance data should move into payroll without duplicate entry. Our payroll interface helps you reduce admin, limit payroll mistakes and run a cleaner month-end process while keeping your current payroll software.

Follow a clear payroll export workflow

Our payroll interface gives your team a defined month-end sequence. That makes payroll preparation easier to control and easier to review.

Capture time and attendance data in Kelio
Calculate variable payroll data per employee
Check attendance, absences and pay variables
Generate a payroll-compatible export file
Transfer the file into payroll, or by email or FTP

Kelio supports payroll data preparation for payroll RTI workflows. Your payroll software remains the system used to process payroll and handle HMRC RTI reporting.

Manage payroll exports across multi-site and group structures

Multi-site organisations need standard payroll inputs across locations, entities and employee categories. Our multi-company payroll interface helps you centralise exported data and use one process across the whole business.

Useful for central payroll teams and shared services
Supports travelling staff and mixed employee categories
Helps growing SMEs and larger organisations standardise payroll exports

Legal framework

Support UK payroll preparation with cleaner RTI inputs

Payroll accuracy matters because payroll runs feed HMRC processes and RTI reporting. Our payroll interface improves the quality of source data before payroll is run, especially for overtime, absences, special hours and bonuses.

You spend less time chasing corrections at the end of the month, while your payroll team works from validated data prepared for your payroll and RTI workflow.

Give HR and IT a lower-risk integration project

HR teams want fewer spreadsheets and fewer payroll corrections. IT teams want a payroll interface that works with the current payroll system and does not force a full payroll replacement.

We support both sides with compatibility checks, defined file transfer methods, training, ongoing support and a GDPR-compliant environment with controlled access to employee payroll data.

What is a payroll interface?

A payroll interface connects workforce data from time and attendance software to payroll software. It transfers variable payroll inputs such as overtime, absences and bonuses, reduces manual re-entry and helps your payroll team work from one validated source. We complement your payroll software rather than replace it.

How does your payroll interface work?

We gather employee time and attendance data in Kelio, calculate and check the variable payroll data, then export it in a payroll-compatible format. This includes ASCII files where required. You can transfer files into payroll software directly, or send them by email or FTP for outsourced payroll.

Which payroll software can you connect to?

We interface with over 160 payroll packages, including Sage, ADP, Pegasus, IRIS, iTrent and Silae. We review your existing payroll system and export requirements during the project scope.

Do you support UK payroll and RTI workflows?

Yes. We support payroll preparation by supplying accurate time and attendance data to payroll. That helps your team prepare payroll runs and RTI-related processes inside your payroll software. Your payroll software remains the filing system.

Are you suitable for outsourced payroll?

Yes. If you manage time internally and process payroll externally, we can export payroll files by email or FTP. That gives outsourced payroll teams standardised files and reduces rework at month-end.

How do you handle payroll GDPR requirements?

We support payroll GDPR requirements through a GDPR-compliant environment, protected employee records and authorised access to payroll-related information. This helps you centralise payroll source data while keeping access aligned with roles.

Is the payroll interface suitable for small businesses and multi-site organisations?

Yes. Smaller teams use our payroll interface to reduce manual payroll admin, while multi-site organisations use it to standardise payroll inputs across locations, entities and employee categories.
