Time and Attendance API
v 1.0.0
Best for
- Sending employee time and attendance data from global HR/time systems to payroll integration processing
- Standardizing source payloads from systems such as Oracle Time and Labor and UKG into one canonical model
- Preparing time data for downstream transformation into STEPS SAP payroll infotypes
Get Started
The Time and Attendance API is a generic HR API that allows HR/time management systems to send canonical employee time and attendance data to payroll integration flows.
Scope
This API is generic, meaning it is not specific to one DHL Division or one source HR/time platform.
In scope:
- Planned working time data
- Absence data
- Schedule adjustment data
- Remuneration-related time entries
- Integration metadata for traceability and idempotency
Out of scope:
- Employee payroll master and compensation master data
- Non-payroll HR process workflows
- UI-specific data capture logic
Systems in Scope
Primary downstream system in scope:
- STEPS SAP payroll interfaces (country transformation layer dependent)
Using the API
Please contact ITGF HR Integration team to request access.
Access to the API is subject to approval.
Time and Attendance Integration
You can use this API to integrate systems such as Oracle Time and Labor and UKG with DHL time-to-payroll processing, where canonical records are transformed into country-specific STEPS SAP interfaces.
Typical flows include:
- Planned working time updates
- Absence submissions and corrections
- Schedule adjustments (temporary shift/schedule overrides)
- Remuneration time entries (for example overtime quantities)
