ADP + Workday Integration
ADP Workday integration to automate payroll and HR data flows between systems — no code required.
ADP Workday integration keeps payroll, HR, and identity data aligned across your enterprise systems. Use Koodisi's no-code REST Client to sync employee records, payroll runs, benefits enrollments and compliance reporting between ADP and Workday. That reduces manual entry, accelerates onboarding, and ensures audit-ready records for finance, HR, and IT teams.
The Problem: Manual handoffs and data silos
Manual HR and payroll handoffs create costly delays, errors, and compliance gaps across systems. Teams copy Contacts, Employee profiles, Payroll runs, Benefits enrollments, and Time entries between ADP and Workday, producing duplicate records and missed SLAs. Finance, HR, and IT spend hours reconciling Orders, Vendor charges, and Headcount reports instead of strategic work, increasing audit risk and slowing onboarding and payroll processing. Recruiting, ticketing, and benefits audits stall, causing employee dissatisfaction and unexpected costs that erode trust and compliance exposure.
The Solution: Automated Sync with Koodisi
Koodisi automates ADP and Workday record synchronization so HR, payroll, and IT teams stop firefighting. Employee records, Payroll results, Benefits enrollments, Time entries, Job and Position objects, and Rehire flags sync automatically. Koodisi maps Contacts, Compensation data, Tax withholdings, and Termination events between systems, ensuring that onboarding, offboarding, payroll runs, and headcount reporting are accurate, auditable, and faster for finance and HR operations. Teams see fewer payroll errors, reduced benefits mispayments, and near-instant updates to identity and access systems immediately.
What you can automate
- ADP → Workday: New hires (Employee records), Payroll runs, Tax withholdings, Benefits enrollments, Time entries, Termination notices
- Workday → ADP: Job and Position changes, Compensation updates, Rehires, Manager and Organization updates, Time approvals, Offboarding statuses
Resulting processes run faster, reduce payroll and benefits errors, maintain audit trails for compliance, and provide HR, finance, and IT teams with consistent employee data, clear SLAs, and measurable reductions in time-to-onboard and payroll close across regions and subsidiaries globally.

Use Cases
What teams actually automate with this integration.
Automated new hire provisioning across systems
When HR marks a candidate as hired in Workday, Koodisi triggers an automated flow that sends Employee records, Job and Position data, Compensation rates, and Benefits enrollments to ADP. The trigger is the Workday Hire event; Koodisi maps fields and creates or updates Contacts, Employee profiles, tax withholdings, and payroll eligibility in ADP. Payroll, IT, and HR receive confirmations and provisioning tickets are closed faster, reducing manual entry, accelerating benefits start dates, and ensuring the first payroll includes correct pay and deductions. Managers get immediate access and onboarding surveys trigger.
Payroll reconciliation and tax withholding sync
When ADP completes a payroll run, Koodisi captures Payroll runs and Tax withholdings and sends summarized payroll results to Workday for headcount and cost accounting. The trigger is ADP payroll post; Koodisi maps Earnings, Deductions, Tax codes, Net pay, and Benefits deductions to Workday Compensation and Payroll expense objects. Finance teams receive reconciled Orders and GL mappings, exceptions generate tickets automatically, and month-end close is faster with fewer discrepancies, improving auditability and reducing time spent reconciling payroll, benefits, and tax reporting across systems while keeping compliance reports ready for auditors.
Offboarding and termination coordination across systems
When Workday records a termination, Koodisi triggers offboarding: it sends Termination events, Final pay calculations, Benefit termination dates, and Access revocation flags to ADP and IT systems. The trigger is Workday Termination or Job change; Koodisi updates Employee records, closes active Benefits enrollments, adjusts Payroll runs, and creates offboarding Tickets in ITSM. Legal, HR, and finance receive audit-friendly logs and reconciliation reports. Automated steps reduce overpayments, ensure benefit COBRA eligibility is captured, and remove access quickly to lower security and compliance risk and shorten HR closure time with clear reporting.
Continuous HR data sync for compliance reporting
Koodisi runs scheduled syncs and event-driven updates to keep Contacts, Employee records, Compensation, Benefits, Time entries, and Headcount metrics consistent between ADP and Workday. When payroll, benefits, or position changes occur, triggers update both systems and generate audit logs. Compliance teams receive consolidated reports for tax filings, labor reporting, and benefits audits. The workflow handles data mapping, flags mismatches as exceptions, creates tickets for reconciliation, and delivers reliable, timestamped records so legal and finance teams can meet reporting deadlines with confidence, reducing manual audits, late filings, penalties, and internal disputes.

How Koodisi Connects ADP and Workday
Koodisi sits between ADP and Workday and watches for trigger events like hires, terminations, payroll posts, and job changes. When a trigger occurs, Koodisi uses a visual mapping flow to translate fields—employee names, tax codes, compensation amounts, benefit elections—so each system receives the right record formats. If data mismatches or errors appear, Koodisi flags exceptions, logs the issue, and routes a ticket to the right team for review. Administrators can replay or correct failed records with clear audit trails. Koodisi connects to both systems through its no-code REST Client for ADP and Workday, so teams build, test, and iterate integrations without writing code, keeping SLAs tight while reducing manual reconciliation and ensuring accurate, auditable HR and payroll data across the business. Real-time dashboards and email alerts show sync status, processing time, exception counts, and reconciliation results so leaders can measure gains, allocate staff efficiently, and demonstrate compliance without manual spreadsheets.
