HiBob & Affinity
Integrate bob's modern HR platform with Affinity's specialist payroll software
Connect your people management platform with purpose-built AU/NZ payroll to streamline operations, reduce admin and deliver a seamless employee experience from hire to retire.
Affinity integrates with HiBob's people platform, bob, so employee data created in bob – new hires, role changes, compensation updates – flows automatically into Affinity's payroll engine. bob manages the people experience; Affinity handles specialist, compliant payroll processing for organisations across Australia and New Zealand.
Your people platform deserves a payroll engine to match
HiBob is built for the way modern businesses manage people – intuitive, configurable and designed around the employee experience. But when it comes to payroll in Australia and New Zealand, you need specialist depth: award interpretation, compliance automation and local expertise that a global platform can't replicate alone.
Affinity bridges that gap. By connecting bob's HR data with Affinity's payroll engine, you get the best of both worlds – a modern people platform and a payroll system built from the ground up for AU/NZ.
No more manual exports, no more reconciling two disconnected systems. Just one seamless flow from your people data to accurate, compliant pay runs.

Frequently asked questions
Does HiBob's integration with Affinity require IT setup?
No custom build is needed. Employee data created in bob – new hires, role changes, compensation updates – flows automatically into Affinity's payroll engine, so the two platforms connect without a bespoke integration project.
Can I keep bob as my HR system of record if I move payroll to Affinity?
Yes. bob stays your single source of truth for people data. Affinity receives that data automatically and handles the payroll processing, so switching payroll providers doesn't mean re-entering or duplicating what's already in bob.
What happens when a compensation change is approved in bob?
It's reflected in Affinity's next pay run automatically. There's no manual export or re-keying between the two systems, which means less admin and fewer errors as your organisation grows.
Does Affinity handle AU and NZ compliance on top of HiBob's HR data?
Yes. Affinity handles Australian awards, STP reporting, KiwiSaver, Holidays Act and local tax obligations directly, so bob can stay focused on the people experience while Affinity stays focused on compliant payroll.
