Payroll System Integration

Connecting your payroll system to your VT System is now a built-in feature, eliminating the need for external API connections. Simply map the data fields from your payroll system to the corresponding attributes in your VT System, such as Managers vs. Non-Managers, Job Positions, Cost Centers, and Departments. This intuitive mapping process ensures users are synced with the appropriate Access Levels and that Content Roles are automatically assigned.

The integration syncs both existing employees and new hires seamlessly. You can specify their Username and Password, enabling them to log in and start using the system right away!

Are you a coaching or training company using LightSpeed VT to monetize your content for businesses (B2B)?

Our payroll integration offers the flexibility to connect with multiple payroll systems. This allows you to tailor the integration to each business customer by linking their specific payroll system to their specific ‘User Location’ in the LightSpeed VT System. By streamlining onboarding, enhancing product adoption, and fostering a more integrated customer experience, this feature helps reduce attrition and creates a more ‘sticky’ relationship with your customers.

The Basics

LightSpeed VT has implemented an integration tool from Finch Inc. which maintains an API for Employment Systems and this allows us to connect to several payroll systems. Finch’s technology platform helps employers securely share company and employee data from HRIS and payroll systems of record to other third-party apps and services.

Check the “Supported Payroll Systems” page to see the Payroll Systems we currently support, as well as some easy to follow instructions for each one.

We are actively adding more Payroll Systems to this list, and if your system is not currently available, please contact our Support Team and let them know – we'll see if we can add support for it quickly.

What can you do?

• Initially import all your employees into your system
• Add new employees as they get hired
• Assign content roles and/or teams based on your employees title or department
• Activate/deactivate users based on their employment status updates
• Use your HR app's location information to match LightSpeed VT locations

How does it work?

HRIS applications use an API or some other ways to integrate with external 3rd parties. Each one may have a different structure or naming of fields that they send out in requests from 3rd parties. Finch acts as a middleware that "translate" the data sent from the HRIS to be consistent and universal.

For example, one HRIS may use this format for "Last Name": last_name. While others may use: lastName or surname

Finch keeps tracks of all possibilities from the multiple HRIS and provide an output that is always the same "language".

What data is available and can be used?

Basic employment and individual information are all we need at LightSpeed VT to make it work!

Finch categorizes employee's information as Employment or Individual. In most cases, the Employment category would apply, as it relates to the data for employment.
