Integrating Workday with AFAS Payroll: A solution for international HR and local payroll
Many organizations with an international presence choose Workday as their global HR system (HCM). Workday offers powerful capabilities for strategic HR management, such as talent management, workforce analytics and global compliance.
At the same time, organizations in the Netherlands often have specific needs for payroll software that closely matches local laws and regulations. This is where AFAS Payroll comes in, a widely used payroll system that complies with Dutch standards.
If you use both systems, there are huge benefits to integrating these systems, in this knowledge article we tell you all about the possibilities.

How does the Workday AFAS Integration work?
Integration automates data exchange between Workday and AFAS, including the following processes:
Onboarding: New employees added in Workday are automatically synchronized to AFAS, including all relevant employee and payroll data. Here we can hook exactly into the workflow you have set up in AFAS, for example the ’employee onboarding workflow’ All information entered in Workday is on
Changes: Contract changes, job changes or other changes on employees are updated from Workday directly in AFAS.
Out of Service: Once an employee is reported out of service in Workday, they are also automatically reported out of service in AFAS or the out of service workflow in AFAS is started. This helps automate access to sensitive systems.
