What Are Zoho People & Payroll
HR and Payroll That Share One Record
Zoho People is Zoho's cloud HR software for employee records, leave, attendance, onboarding, performance, training and HR helpdesk requests, used on the web and through mobile apps. Zoho Payroll is Zoho's payroll software: it calculates pay, deductions and statutory contributions, produces payslips and prepares the filings each country edition supports. As of November 2026, Zoho lists Payroll editions for India, the USA, Canada, the UK and the six GCC countries. MageBytes configures both around your HR policies, migrates your employee data, and connects them to Zoho Books and your wider Zoho setup.

Where Zoho Payroll is available
Zoho Payroll is sold as separate country editions, each built around local tax and statutory rules. As of November 2026, Zoho lists editions for ten countries. For example, the UK edition prepares RTI submissions for HMRC and assesses workplace pension enrolment, the Canadian edition handles federal and provincial tax with T4 and RL-1 slips, and the Indian edition calculates PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS.
If you employ people in a country without a Zoho Payroll edition, Zoho People can still run HR, and we hand attendance and employee data to your local payroll provider.
- India
- United States
- Canada
- United Kingdom
- UAE and Saudi Arabia
- Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait
How Zoho People and Zoho Payroll connect
Zoho's native integration syncs employee records from People to Payroll, filtered by location and employee type, and pushes loss-of-pay data from attendance and leave into the matching pay run. At the time of writing, Zoho documents this integration for India and the GCC countries.
For other editions, we agree a reliable hand-off between the two apps, such as a structured import routine or a custom integration where the APIs allow, so payroll always works from current HR data.
What to prepare before setup
Clean source data is the biggest factor in a smooth rollout. We send a checklist early, so your team can gather the information while configuration starts.
- Employee master data
- Leave policies & balances
- Salary structures & components
- Statutory registration details
- Bank details for salary payouts
- Year-to-date payroll figures
Choosing when to switch payroll
Starting at the beginning of a tax year or quarter is usually simplest, because fewer year-to-date figures need to be carried across. A mid-year switch is possible, but opening figures must be entered accurately so payslips and year-end forms add up.
Either way, we recommend at least one parallel run and sign-off from your payroll adviser or accountant before the first live pay run.
