Employment Hero Payroll UK (KeyPay) integration with Vergo: reimbursements synced to payroll

Vergo connects to Employment Hero Payroll UK (the platform formerly branded KeyPay) and delivers approved employee reimbursements into the pay run.

What does the Vergo + Employment Hero Payroll UK (KeyPay) integration do?

  • Collect employee reimbursement claims with receipt, amount, date and coding ahead of each UK pay period
  • Read employee records and pay schedules so every claim lands on the right person and period
  • Code claims by AI inference from your own cost structure and history, with no rule library to build
  • Read receipts line by line, predicting the coding from what was actually bought rather than the vendor name on the header
  • Show why each coding was chosen, so approval is confirmation rather than re-coding
  • Deliver approved reimbursements as employee expense requests and pay run inclusions for the period
  • Leave pay, PAYE and payslips to Employment Hero Payroll UK — Vergo covers reimbursements only

Reimbursements that arrive in the Employment Hero pay run

Employees submit out-of-pocket claims with receipts in Vergo, approvals run on your policy, and the approved amount is handed to Employment Hero Payroll UK against the right employee — picked up in the next pay run for their schedule, with no manual keying in between.

Frequently asked questions

Does Vergo integrate with Employment Hero Payroll UK (KeyPay)?

Yes. Vergo connects to the Employment Hero Payroll UK API — the UK edition of the platform formerly branded KeyPay — for employee reimbursements. Your administrator enables API access from inside your own account.

Can Vergo handle employee reimbursements through Employment Hero Payroll UK?

Yes, and that is the scope of the integration. Approved out-of-pocket claims are delivered against the right employee and picked up in the next pay run, so reimbursement arrives with pay rather than as a separate payment.

What data moves between Vergo and Employment Hero Payroll UK?

Employee records and pay schedules are read so claims match the right person and period. Reimbursements use the UK API's employee expense requests and employee-recurring-expense pay run inclusions.

How is the Employment Hero Payroll UK connection set up?

An administrator generates an API key inside your own payroll account and shares it with Vergo. The platform is vendor-hosted, so there is nothing to install and no IT provisioning on your side.

Does Employment Hero Payroll UK handle expense claims on its own?

It has expense request and pay run expense inclusion functionality. Vergo sits ahead of it: receipt capture, policy checks and approval happen in Vergo, so what reaches payroll is an approved claim rather than a request to review.
