Connect Lattice and ADP to Unify People Data Across Your Organization
Automate employee data sync between your performance management and payroll systems to eliminate manual work and keep HR records accurate.
Lattice + ADP integration
Lattice and ADP are the two systems most people teams can't live without — one running performance, engagement, and growth, the other handling payroll, benefits, and workforce records. When they don't talk to each other, HR teams end up manually reconciling employee data, chasing down compensation changes, and double-checking that new hires got set up correctly in both places. Connecting Lattice and ADP through tray.ai keeps workforce data flowing between them so both systems stay accurate and up to date.
Integrating Lattice with ADP gives HR and People Operations teams a single source of truth for employee lifecycle management. When a new hire is added in ADP, their profile can be automatically provisioned in Lattice so performance cycles, onboarding surveys, and goal-setting are ready from day one. When compensation changes are approved through Lattice's compensation review workflows, those updates can flow directly into ADP without manual data entry. This bidirectional sync reduces the risk of discrepancies between payroll and performance systems, cuts down on administrative lag, and frees HR Business Partners to focus on actual people work instead of spreadsheet reconciliation. Every employment event — a promotion, a department transfer, a termination — gets reflected consistently across both platforms, which matters a lot when auditors come calling.
Automate & integrate Lattice + ADP
Automating Lattice and ADP business processes or integrating data is made easy with Tray.ai.
Use case
Automated New Hire Provisioning
When a new employee record is created in ADP, tray.ai automatically provisions their Lattice profile, assigns them to the correct manager and department, and enrolls them in the appropriate onboarding review cycle. New hires are ready to engage with Lattice on day one without any manual setup from the HR team.
- Eliminate manual Lattice profile creation for every new hire
- Ensure onboarding surveys and 30/60/90-day check-ins are triggered on time
- Give new employees immediate access to goals and feedback tools
Use case
Compensation Change Sync from Lattice to ADP
After compensation reviews are completed and approved in Lattice, tray.ai automatically pushes the updated salary, bonus, or equity data into ADP's payroll records. No more manually re-entering approved compensation decisions into a separate payroll system, and employees get paid correctly in the next cycle.
- Eliminate dual data entry for compensation changes approved in Lattice
- Reduce payroll errors caused by delayed or missed compensation updates
- Create a reliable audit trail linking Lattice approvals to ADP payroll records
Use case
Employee Profile Updates and Department Transfers
When an employee's job title, department, location, or manager changes in ADP, tray.ai syncs those updates to Lattice automatically so performance reviews, OKRs, and org chart data stay accurate. Keeping both systems in sync prevents review cycles from going to the wrong manager and ensures reporting hierarchies reflect how the org actually looks today.
- Maintain accurate manager relationships and org chart data in Lattice
- Prevent performance reviews from routing to outdated managers
- Reduce HR ticket volume related to stale employee data in Lattice
Use case
Offboarding and Termination Workflows
When an employee termination is recorded in ADP, tray.ai triggers an automated offboarding sequence in Lattice — deactivating the employee profile, archiving their performance data, and notifying their manager to complete any pending reviews. Sensitive performance records get handled properly at the time of departure, not weeks later.
- Instantly deactivate terminated employee profiles in Lattice
- Preserve historical performance and feedback data for compliance purposes
- Automatically notify managers to close out open reviews before deactivation
Use case
Performance Cycle Enrollment Based on ADP Employment Data
tray.ai can use ADP employment data — hire date, employee type, work location — to automatically enroll employees in the correct Lattice performance review cycles. Full-time versus part-time employees, employees in different regions, or those who just crossed their 90-day anniversary can all be routed into the right review cadence without anyone managing a list manually.
- Dynamically enroll employees in the correct review cycle based on ADP employment attributes
- Ensure part-time, contractor, and full-time employees receive appropriate review experiences
- Reduce HR admin effort around managing performance cycle enrollment lists
Use case
Manager Change and Reporting Line Updates
When a manager change is recorded in ADP, tray.ai updates the reporting relationship in Lattice so that 1:1 meetings, ongoing feedback, and future review cycles are immediately routed to the new manager. This prevents the frustrating scenario where an employee's performance data sits under a former manager who can no longer access or act on it.
- Automatically update Lattice reporting hierarchies when ADP manager fields change
- Ensure new managers have immediate visibility into direct reports' goals and performance history
- Prevent orphaned performance records under departed or reassigned managers
Challenges Tray.ai solves
Common obstacles when integrating Lattice and ADP — and how Tray.ai handles them.
Challenge
Maintaining a Consistent Employee Identifier Across Both Systems
ADP and Lattice each use their own internal employee ID formats, and without a shared unique identifier, matching records between the two systems during automated syncs can produce duplicate profiles, misrouted data, or failed updates — especially when employee names or emails change.
How Tray.ai helps
tray.ai lets you build an identity-matching layer that maps ADP employee IDs to Lattice user records using a combination of work email, employee number, and name. Custom data transformations normalize identifier formats across both systems, and you can maintain a lookup table within workflows to keep record matching accurate even when individual fields change over time.
Challenge
Handling Compensation Data Sensitivity and Access Controls
Compensation data flowing between Lattice and ADP is among the most sensitive information a company manages. Integrations need to transmit salary, bonus, and equity values securely and only trigger updates when changes are fully approved — not during draft or pending states.
How Tray.ai helps
tray.ai lets you build conditional logic that only triggers compensation sync workflows when Lattice marks a change as fully approved and finalized. All data in transit is encrypted, and tray.ai's role-based access controls ensure that only authorized personnel can view or modify compensation-related workflow configurations, supporting your internal data governance requirements.
Challenge
Managing Complex Organizational Hierarchies and Matrix Reporting
Many organizations have matrixed reporting structures where an employee may have a primary manager in ADP but a different functional manager in Lattice. Syncing org hierarchy changes without accidentally overwriting intentional Lattice-specific configurations is a real integration headache.
How Tray.ai helps
tray.ai's flexible data mapping lets you define which fields are authoritative in ADP versus which are managed independently within Lattice. You can configure sync logic that updates primary reporting relationships from ADP while preserving Lattice-specific manager assignments, so automated syncs don't undo your intentional HR configurations.
New Employee in ADP → Create Lattice Profile
ADP 
Lattice Automatically creates a new employee profile in Lattice whenever a new hire record is finalized in ADP, populating all relevant fields including name, email, manager, department, and start date, and triggering onboarding check-in enrollment.
Lattice Compensation Approval → Update ADP Payroll Record
Lattice ADP When a compensation change is approved through Lattice's compensation review workflow, this template automatically updates the corresponding employee's salary or bonus data in ADP, so payroll reflects the latest approved compensation without manual re-entry.
ADP Employee Update → Sync Changes to Lattice
ADP Lattice Monitors ADP for changes to employee job title, department, manager, or location and automatically applies those updates to the corresponding Lattice profile, keeping performance management data aligned with the authoritative HR record in ADP.
ADP Termination → Deactivate Lattice Profile and Notify Manager
ADP Lattice When an employee termination is recorded in ADP, this template deactivates the employee's Lattice account, archives their performance and feedback history, and sends an automated notification to their manager prompting them to complete any outstanding reviews.
ADP Hire Date Milestone → Enroll in Lattice Review Cycle
ADP Lattice Uses ADP hire date and employee type data to automatically enroll employees in the correct Lattice performance review cycle when they hit key employment milestones, such as 30, 60, or 90 days of tenure or their annual review anniversary.
Bidirectional Employee Data Audit and Reconciliation Report
ADP Lattice Runs a scheduled comparison between ADP and Lattice employee records to identify discrepancies in fields like manager, department, job title, and employment status, then generates a reconciliation report sent to the HR Operations team for review and remediation.
