The MyHR payroll ecosystem
MyHR is the only New Zealand-based HR platform that integrates seamlessly with the payroll software you already use. Xero, iPayroll, and PayHero - we integrate with all of them.
The MyHR platform takes care of your staff data, employment agreements, onboarding and performance management, leave requests, and legal compliance. All the necessary employee details and pay specifics flow automatically through MyHR to your payroll system, so you don’t have to enter anything twice. Your payroll system 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 holidays or get a pay increase, it’s automatically reflected in your payroll.
By comparison, an “all-in-one” bundled HR and payroll solution can result in you getting locked into a system that doesn’t work for your business, especially if you have already found a payroll provider you’re happy with. Implementation might involve hidden costs and if the new service isn’t a good fit, it means you have to replace your HR and payroll platform, rather than just one - and you could incur extra cancellation charges.
How MyHR’s payroll integrations work
MyHR is designed from the ground up to take care of your employment processes and integrate seamlessly with leading payroll software. Employee data (including salary, tax codes and address details, and Kiwisaver fund details) is automatically pushed to your payroll provider, so payroll runs correctly each pay run, and calculations run smoothly. The secure, automated data flow eliminates double data handling, reducing the chances of errors and boosting efficiency.
MyHR’s smart payroll integration also centralises leave management, allowing you to track leave 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 payroll.
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 organisation can take some work. Your payroll and HR software need to ensure your pay 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. 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 codes, KiwiSaver 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 payroll specialists - whether it’s PayHero, Xero or iPayroll - and wrap our powerful HR solution around it. The two talk to each other automatically, so it still feels like one system.
MyHR looks after staff records, employment agreements, onboarding, performance reviews, leave and compliance. When someone joins your team, changes their bank account, moves house or switches KiwiSaver fund, the details flow straight to your payroll. No double entry, fewer mistakes.
Leave works 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 payroll ready for the next pay run. On time, every time. And if you ever change payroll provider, your HR stays exactly where it is.
