How the HigherMe + Netchex Integration Works

The HigherMe + Netchex integration streamlines your hiring-to-payroll workflow by automatically syncing new hire data from HigherMe directly into your Netchex account. All essential employee details—personal information, job title, pay rate, direct deposit info, and workplace info such as Division, Business Unit, Department and Location —are captured during the hiring process, then instantly transferred to Netchex. This eliminates the need for manual data entry, reduces errors, and ensures your payroll system is always accurate and up to date.

Plus, with Single Sign-On (SSO), employers can easily log in to HigherMe directly from their Netchex dashboard—making access fast, secure, and convenient.

Precision You Can
Trust to Stay Compliant

By automatically transferring all required employee information from HigherMe to Netchex, the integration greatly reduces the risk of human error, such as incorrect tax data, pay rates, or missing documentation. This not only ensures employees are paid correctly from day one, but also helps maintain compliance with labor laws, tax regulations, and company policies, especially important for multi-location franchise operators who need consistentcy across locations.

 

Say goodbye to paperwork bottlenecks. New employees are fully payroll-ready the moment they complete their HigherMe application—no more waiting for forms or hand-keying information. Your team saves an average of 40 minutes per hire, so new team members hit the ground running on day one. Say goodbye to paperwork bottlenecks.
