Overview

During onboarding, you’ll need to connect your payroll system so that Intersect can pull through employee information for the selected organisation. This guide explains how to activate the SimplePay API integration.

See this feature in action.

Depending on your stage of utilization of the system, you have 2 options from where you can navigate to connect a SimplePay organization

Navigation Option 1
 

From the "Connections" tab, where you can click on the “SimplePay” tile; Initiating the connection process is as easy as clicking the "Connect to SimplePay".

Navigation Option 2

If you are still busy setting up your accounts for the 1st time, you can access the SimplePay setup directly from the "Complete Onboarding" ribbon at the top of your screen
