Employment is brilliant at what it does. Useless at everything else your data needs to touch.
Employment Hero unifies payroll + HR in one product, but the GL, ERP + workforce-planning views still live elsewhere + read pay-runs in batch. AI projects stall because the unified Employment Hero API + the underlying KeyPay engine need to be reconciled.
The integration tool you've already tried probably can't fix it.
SaaS-to-SaaS. Useful, until it isn't.
Connectors for Employment, Slack + a thousand other SaaS apps. Cheap + fast for the easy half of integration. Where they hit a wall:
- Accounting + ERP behind every pay-run journal (Xero, MYOB Business, MYOB Acumatica, Sage Intacct)
- Time-and-attendance + scheduling platforms outside Employment Hero's own modules
- Retirement-provider + expense feeds outside Employment Hero's native catalogue
- Custom data warehouses + AI agents needing live Employment Hero pay history
- Multi-tenant consolidation across Employment Hero brands + the underlying KeyPay engine
Payroll, time + attendance, accounting + AI. One platform.
The integration platform built for what other tools can't (or won't) reach - plus an AI data fabric, MCP server + app builder layered on top. Australian-priced.
- Employment + every accounting, ERP + HR system
- Time-and-attendance, expense + retirement platforms
- Files, legacy SQL, FTP + custom-built connectors
- Real-time bidirectional sync, tier-aware + rate-limit-safe
- AI Data Fabric, MCP, automation + custom apps included
Employment + Rayven: AI, automation + tools that reach every system you run.

What is Employment Hero Payroll integration?
Employment Hero Payroll integration is the practice of connecting Employment Hero to the rest of your business stack - Xero, MYOB Business, ERP, time + AI - so pay-runs flow in real-time. Rayven delivers Employment Hero integration as part of an AI data fabric, built for Australian + NZ businesses.
How does Rayven connect Employment Hero Payroll to other systems?
Rayven uses Employment Hero's unified REST API + the underlying KeyPay engine endpoints for real-time bidirectional sync. Rayven handles OAuth + multi-tenant token refresh natively. See the Rayven Platform.
What systems can Rayven connect Employment Hero Payroll to?
Rayven connects Employment Hero to 600+ systems including Xero Accounting, MYOB Business, MYOB Acumatica ERP, Sage Intacct ERP, KeyPay Payroll, time-and-attendance, retirement + custom HR systems.
How long does Employment Hero Payroll integration take with Rayven?
Most Employment Hero integrations go live in 2-12 weeks. A pay-run-to-accounting flow runs in 2-3 weeks; a multi-tenant workforce-cost fabric runs 6-12 weeks. Choose DIY, done-for-you or hybrid delivery - all three include Australian-based expert delivery.
Does Employment Hero have a native API? Why does Rayven add value on top?
Yes - Employment Hero ships a unified REST API + the underlying KeyPay engine endpoints. Rayven adds value because production sync needs more than one or the other: reconciling both API surfaces, multi-tenant + brand handling, change-data capture + the AI/agent + parallel-ERP layers on top. Rayven also wires the KeyPay sister page into the same flow. Read more in how Rayven works.
What are the most common Employment Hero Payroll integration use cases?
Top use cases are pay-run-to-Xero or MYOB, time-to-payroll, retirement + expense posting, multi-tenant consolidation + AI anomaly detection. See the automations above for specifics.
What are the technical specifics of Employment Hero Payroll integration with Rayven?
Rayven uses Employment Hero's unified REST API + the underlying KeyPay multi-tenant payroll engine endpoints for real-time bidirectional sync. OAuth + per-tenant token refresh handled automatically; multi-tenant + multi-brand throttling managed natively via batching, queuing + back-pressure so pay-cycle bursts never breach Employment Hero's caps. Both API surfaces are reconciled at the Rayven layer - downstream systems see one consistent stream rather than two product feeds. Pay-runs, journals, employee master records, time + benefits data are preserved through the integration with field-level mapping into Xero Accounting, MYOB Business, MYOB Acumatica + workforce-planning targets. Custom fields, cost-centres + project codes flow with full lineage. The KeyPay sister page is wired into the same flow. Bulk historical loads use Reports endpoints; real-time flows use change-data capture. Configurable to your local payroll tax + compliance environment. Validated against Employment Hero AU + NZ tenants.
Employment + AI integration.
