MyHR + Payworks: the complete HR and payroll solution for Canadian businesses

MyHR’s seamless integration with leading payroll provider Payworks provides the accuracy and  flexibility Canadian employers need, without being locked into a bundled solution.

The MyHR platform takes care of your staff data, employment agreements, onboarding and performance management, vacation requests, and legal compliance. All the necessary employee details and pay specifics flow automatically through MyHR to Payworks, so you don’t have to enter anything twice.

Payworks handles calculations and payments, while you save time and can rest assured your team is always paid correctly and on time. If any employee details change, they take a vacation or get a pay increase, it’s automatically reflected in your payroll.

How the MyHR + Payworks integration works

MyHR integrates directly with Payworks, one of Canada’s leading payroll providers. MyHR handles your people processes. Payworks handles pay. Whenever something changes in one, it updates in the other via a two-way data sync.

MyHR is designed from the ground up to take care of your employment processes and integrate seamlessly with Payworks’ payroll software. Employee data (including compensation, bank, and tax details) is automatically pushed to Payworks, so payroll runs correctly each pay run, and calculations run smoothly. The secure, automated data flow eliminates double-handling of data, reducing the chances of errors and boosting efficiency.

MyHR’s smart integration with Payworks also centralizes vacation and leave management, allowing you to track balances, approve requests, and view team availability alongside key dates in one shared calendar in MyHR. Employee self-service enables staff to see their leave balances and submit leave requests from within the MyHR platform, which automatically flow through to Payworks.

For managers and employees, it never feels like you’re using two separate tools. You can take care of everything from inside MyHR.

Why a payroll agnostic HR platform beats a bundled HR and payroll provider

Getting the right set of tools for the requirements of your organization can be tricky. Your payroll and HR software need to ensure your pay, vacation, and leave calculations are accurate, your employees get what they’re entitled to (when they’re entitled to it), and you meet all your tax and employment obligations.

A bundled HR and payroll system can seem like a saving, but bundles are built to keep you in. That's great when every part fits your requirements. But it's a headache when one part doesn't and you’re stuck with inefficiencies, paying extra for add-ons, or having to find a whole new solution because one of the tools doesn’t work for you.

Replacing your HR and payroll often comes with cancellation fees and set-up costs. Switching payroll is no small job, either. There’s pay history, leave balances, tax and bank settings. Moving all of that is risky, and most businesses only want to do it once.

How MyHR does HR + payroll differently

MyHR is a complete HR system that provides software for the HR legwork and human experts for everything else. We trust payroll to the Canadian payroll specialists at Payworks and wrap our powerful HR solution around it. The two talk to each other automatically, so it still feels like one system.

MyHR takes care of staff records, employment agreements, onboarding, performance reviews, leave, and compliance. When someone joins your team, changes their bank account, moves house or gets a pay rise, the details flow straight to your payroll. No double entry, fewer mistakes.

Vacation time and leave work the same way. Your team checks balances and requests time off in MyHR. You approve it, see who's away on a shared calendar, and it lands in Payworks ready for the next pay run. On time, every time. And if you ever change payroll provider, your HR stays exactly where it is.
