How to Sync Employee Information to Payroll Relief from Your guHRoo Dashboard

In this article, we will guide you through the process of exporting employee information from your guHRoo dashboard to Payroll Relief once the integration is set up. This feature allows client-admin users to easily sync employee data with Payroll Relief, ensuring your payroll process is smooth and efficient. Please note that exporting contractor data is not supported at this time.

If you haven’t connected your Payroll Relief account yet, please reach out to the guHRoo Client Sucess team at support@guhroo.co for additional information regarding the API integration setup or refer to the integration setup guide.

Steps/Procedures:

1. Ensure Payroll Relief Integration is Complete

Before exporting employee information, confirm that your Payroll Relief integration is successfully connected. If you're unsure how to do this, refer to our integration setup guide.

2. Check Employee Eligibility for Export

Only employees with the following required fields can be exported:

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Email Address
  • Employee Number
  • Phone Number
  • Social Security Number
  • Zip Code
  • State
  • Employment Type (full-time or part-time)
  • Compensation Type (salary or hourly)
  • Status (currently active or onboarding)

If an employee doesn't meet these requirements, they won't appear in the export list.

3. Exporting Users to Payroll Relief

  1. Log in to your guHRoo account as a client-admin.

  2. In the client-admin dashboard, locate the Integrations card (see screenshot below for reference).
    Note: If you don't see this card, ensure the following: 

    1. You are logged in as a client-admin.

    2. Your API key was successfully saved during the connection process.


  1. Click the Sync Users button to open the export form.

  1. Review the list of employees eligible for export. If you don't see certain users, verify that their information meets the required criteria.
  2. Select the users you wish to send to Payroll Relief.

  1. Click the Sync Users with Payroll Relief button to start the export process.
    1. Note: The process may take a few moments depending on the size of the data being sent.

4. Confirm Export Success or Address Errors

  • Once the export is complete, a confirmation message will appear.
  • If the export fails due to incorrect or incomplete employee data, you'll receive an error spreadsheet. Use this to fix any errors and try the export again.

5. Handling Export Failures

  • If the error isn't related to employee data (for example, an API connection issue), consult the Payroll Relief setup guide for troubleshooting tips.

Troubleshooting:

  • Missing Integrations Card: Ensure you're logged in as a client-admin and that the API key was correctly saved.
  • Users Not Appearing for Export: Check that all required employee details (listed above) are complete.
  • Export Fails: Review the error spreadsheet for any incorrect or missing employee data and correct it before trying again.
  • API or Connection Issues: Refer to the setup guide for troubleshooting any integration problems.
