Tracking employee time off and syncing it with payroll systems can be messy and time-consuming. With an efficient connection between your HR tools and financial systems, you can avoid errors, delays, and frustration for your team and employees. Integrating BambooHR with Netsuite makes managing paid time off (PTO) and payroll processes easier, saving time and improving accuracy.
The Problem: Disconnected PTO and Payroll Systems
When employees request time off, HR teams record this information in BambooHR. However, payroll teams often have to re-enter the same information manually without a way to sync that data with Netsuite automatically. This creates several challenges:
- Extra Work: HR and payroll teams waste hours duplicating data entry.
- Increased Errors: Manual processes lead to mistakes in PTO records or paychecks.
- Employee Frustration: Errors in PTO or paychecks can damage trust and morale.
- Redundant Tracking: Employees are forced to request PTO in BambooHR and then manually track the same PTO in Netsuite. Even when the process is partially automated, discrepancies often arise because some employees manually input PTO into Netsuite.
For growing organizations, these inefficiencies can quickly become a significant problem.
The Solution: BambooHR to Netsuite Integration
By connecting BambooHR to Netsuite, you can automate the flow of PTO and time-tracking data between your HR and financial systems. This integration ensures accurate records, reduces manual work, and keeps employees happy by avoiding payroll mistakes.
How It Works
- PTO Requests in BambooHR: Employees request time off through BambooHR, and HR approves or denies these requests.
- Automatic Data Sync: Approved PTO is automatically synced with Netsuite, updating payroll records
- Accurate Payroll: Netsuite uses the updated data to calculate PTO payouts or deductions, ensuring employees are paid correctly.
- Improved Reporting: Both systems stay aligned, making generating accurate reports on PTO and payroll easy.
Why This Integration Matters
- Save Time: Automating data entry frees HR and payroll teams to focus on more strategic tasks.
- Reduce Errors: Fewer manual steps mean fewer mistakes in paychecks and PTO balances.
- Enhance Employee Experience: Employees can trust that their time off and paychecks are handled correctly.
- Improve Reporting: Synced systems make generating reports quick and accurate.
A Realistic Scenario
Picture a mid-sized company with dozens of employees submitting PTO requests every month. Without integration, the HR team manually updates time off records in BambooHR and then re-enters that information into Netsuite for payroll. This slow, error-prone process often leads to frustrated employees and overworked teams.
If this company implemented BambooHR to Netsuite integration, they could see significant improvements:
- PTO records would sync automatically, saving hours of data entry and making BambooHR the single source of truth (SsoT) for PTO and holidays.
- Payroll calculations would be more accurate, reducing errors in employee pay.
- HR and payroll teams would have more time for high-value tasks like strategic planning or employee engagement.
This scenario highlights the practical benefits businesses can achieve with integration.

Hello, please can you tell me if you can sync both person data AND PTO / leave between NetSuite and Bamboo? If so, what are the likely costs? Thanks. Hadley.
Hey Hadley,
Yes we can sync both people data and PTO/Leave information. We do consider these separate “integrations” as one would be for PTO/Vacation/Leave/etc and one would be for the Employees themselves. Our cost per integration is roughly $10 / user/year for each, so it’d be $20 / user/year times the number of users that you have (minimum of $1000 a year per integration)
Thank you!
