Payloom API

Statutory payroll across eleven countries, from one engine. Every rate checked and effective-dated, every payslip reproducible.

The Payloom API is a versioned REST surface for the systems around payroll: your HRIS, your accounting stack, your data warehouse. Authenticate with an organization API key, and the key is the tenant, so there is no organization parameter anywhere.

Run a month

Create a pay run, calculate it, and pull the payment file, payslips and statutory forms. One calculation produces every output.

Manage employees

Add and update the people you pay, on the same records the console uses.

Hear about it

Signed webhooks, retried until they arrive and repeatable for 90 days, for every state a run passes through.

Money that never lies

Amounts are always an object: an integer minor unit and an ISO currency code. No floats, no rounding surprises.

  • Money is an object, {"amount_minor": 500838, "currency": "GHS"}. amount_minor is an integer in the currency’s minor unit (pesewas, cents, kobo). Zero-decimal currencies such as XOF have a 1:1 minor unit.
  • Money movement stays human-gated. You can create and calculate a run, but approving and marking it paid happen in the console, because approval is recorded against a person and an API key is not one.

Start with the Quickstart, or jump straight to the API reference, which is generated from the same contract the API is tested against.
