What It Is

Payroll Hub for Zoho is a cloud-based payroll integration solution from Infra Hub, aimed at small and midsize businesses in Australia and the UK. It connects Employment Hero Payroll (formerly KeyPay) with Zoho Books, Zoho People, Zoho Expenses, and Zoho Workerly, helping Zoho ecosystem users link payroll, HR, expenses, and accounting workflows.

Core Features and Integrations

Based on the available information, the product’s core value is not rebuilding a standalone payroll system, but acting as an integration layer between Zoho and Employment Hero Payroll. Its coverage of Australia’s STP Phase 2 and auto-super, as well as the UK’s HMRC RTI and auto-enrolment pension scenarios, suggests it is mainly designed around AU/UK payroll reporting and pension-related compliance workflows. The description also mentions a white-label payroll engine, which may suit service providers or consultants that want to offer payroll capabilities under their own brand.

Pricing and Trial

The product offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required, lowering the cost of initial validation. However, the public materials do not disclose specific plans, pricing, billing methods, employee-count limits, or feature tiers. Before making a formal purchase, buyers should confirm the total cost of ownership, whether pricing is based on employee count, and whether there are implementation or support fees.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are a clear positioning, a focus on Zoho users and AU/UK payroll compliance, and listed key integrations with Zoho Books, People, Expenses, and Workerly, making it suitable for SMBs already using Zoho to try quickly. The downside is limited public information: common enterprise software procurement details such as permission management, audit logs, data security certifications, API documentation, SLAs, and customer support channels are not readily visible. Its target markets are also mainly Australia and the UK, so it is not a direct fit for global payroll or China-local payroll scenarios.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is best suited for SMBs, accounting service providers, or payroll outsourcing firms operating in Australia or the UK that already use Zoho and want to connect with Employment Hero Payroll. The source material does not mention accessibility from China, nor does it disclose payment methods. For domestic companies that only need to process payroll in China, local HR/payroll systems such as 薪人薪事, 北森, and 用友 should usually be evaluated first. If a China-based team is supporting AU/UK branches, it is advisable to use the 30-day trial to verify network access, Zoho connection stability, and fit with the required compliance workflows.
