How HR and Finance share employee data

Blankitt HR is the master record. Finance reads your employee list from HR live — there is no second list to keep in sync.

One list, two products

When you use both Blankitt HR and Blankitt Finance, they share the same employee list. You manage it in HR; Finance reads from it.

This means:

  • No double entry. Add someone once in HR; they're in Finance immediately.
  • No drift. A salary change in HR is the same salary Finance is using.
  • No exports between products. It's all one tenant.

What gets shared

Everything Finance needs for staff-cost reporting:

  • Name, email, employee number
  • Job title, department, manager
  • Employment type, contract hours, gross salary
  • Start date, end date, status (active or terminated)

What doesn't

Anything Finance doesn't need to see:

  • Leave bookings and balances
  • Statutory leave (SMP, SPP, SSP, etc.)
  • Performance reviews and goals
  • 360° feedback and calibration
  • Personal documents and right-to-work scans
  • E-signature envelopes
  • Onboarding tasks
  • Employee Relations cases
  • Training records

A salary change, step by step

You bump Jane from £45,000 to £50,000 starting 1 August:

  1. In HR, open Jane's detail page > Contracts tab > New contract.
  2. Set the effective date and new salary.
  3. Save.

Within a few seconds:

  • Finance > Settings > Team shows £50,000
  • P&L projection for August onwards picks up the new figure
  • Cash flow forecast updates the August payroll outflow

What about historical reports?

A salary change is dated from a specific day. Reports for months before that date keep the old salary. Reports for months after use the new one. If you backdate a change, re-run any affected projections from the Reports section.
