With Nory's payroll assistant, your employee data flows automatically to payroll. Once an employee's profile is complete, you don't need to export, re-key, or upload anything: new starters, leavers, and changes to employee details all sync on their own.
What syncs to payroll
Nory syncs the following to payroll automatically:
Personal details
Name and title
Payroll ID
Gender
Address (line 1, 2, postcode, city, country)
Date of birth
Email address
Phone number
Right to work/visa
National Insurance number
Starter declaration
Employment details
Position
Type of employment (salary, hourly paid employee)
Wage
Start date (new starters are prorated automatically if they start mid-period)
Leaving date (when you offboard an employee in Nory, they're marked as a leaver in payroll straight away)
Pay details
Pay frequency
Bank details
Home location
Alongside employee data, Nory also syncs the inputs for each pay run: approved timecards, unpaid absences, Statutory Sick Pay, and paid custom shifts and absences.
When does the sync happen?
You don't need to trigger anything. Syncs happen automatically:
New starters sync as soon as they're added to Nory, and are included in the current pay run if they start mid-period (prorated automatically)
Changes to payroll-relevant fields (bank details, pay frequency, wages, address, and so on) trigger a sync for that employee as soon as they're saved.
Leavers sync as soon as an offboarding date is added for the employee in Nory
Timecards sync when they are approved or unapproved, when the schedule is locked. When the pay run cutoff is reached, these sync to the next pay run.
What an employee needs to sync correctly and be added to the pay runs
For an employee to sync to payroll and to the correct pay run, their Nory profile must include:
Field | Why it's needed |
Payroll ID | This is how Nory and payroll identify the same person. |
Pay frequency | Determines which pay runs the employee belongs to. If not set, will default to monthly |
Salary or hourly wage | Needed to calculate pay. Without this the employee can't be added to the pay run. |
On top of these, the pay run view in Nory surfaces the tasks that need resolving (missing employee information, missing SSP documents, and so on), ordered by priority.
Changing wages mid-way through a pay run
Hourly and day-rate employees
Pay for hourly staff is built shift by shift, so wage changes just work. When you change someone's rate with an effective date, shifts before that date pay at the old rate and shifts after it pay at the new rate. The split happens automatically, even mid pay run.
Salaried employees
Salaried pay is a fixed amount per period, so a mid-period change needs to be prorated. Nory does this for you:
When you change a salary while a pay run is open, Nory shows you a warning with a preview of how the change will affect the employee's pay.
Nory calculates the split based on the effective date: the days before the change at the old salary, the days after at the new salary.
The difference is added to the employee's payslip as a separate adjustment line, so it's clear exactly what was paid and why.
Changes after the payroll cutoff
If a change lands after the pay run cutoff, it can't be included in that run and will be picked up in the next one.
Note: if something urgent needs to go into a run that's already past cutoff, contact the payroll team directly.
