HR & payroll integration · secure by design

Plug global mobility straight into your HR & payroll stack.

VisaChief connects to Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM, ADP and your payroll to make employee relocation and visa sponsorship automated, real-time and auditable - while keeping personal data protected, resident where it must be, and aligned to GDPR, the Australian Privacy Act and your security obligations.

The integration workflow

One trigger in your HR system. The whole case runs itself.

From the moment a relocation or sponsorship is flagged in your HRIS, VisaChief assembles, checks and tracks the case - then writes status and outcomes back, so HR and payroll never fall out of sync.

1HRIS

Employee record syncs

VisaChief reads identity, role, location and assignment from your HR system over an encrypted, least-privilege connection.

2Trigger

Mobility event fires

A new international hire, transfer or assignment in the HRIS automatically raises a mobility case - no manual ticket.

3Agents

Case assembled

AI agents pick the right visa class, request only the missing data, and build the nomination and application pack.

4Compliance

Checked & lodged

Salary thresholds and sponsor obligations validated; a registered agent reviews and lodges the decision-ready case.

5Write-back

Status synced back

Visa status, conditions and key dates flow back into the HRIS as structured fields - visible to HR and the employee.

6Payroll

Payroll stays in step

Start dates, work rights and salary-threshold checks keep payroll compliant - changes are flagged before they breach.

Two-way by default. VisaChief doesn't just pull data - it writes verified visa status, conditions and expiries back into your system of record, so there's one source of truth across HR, mobility and payroll.
Every hop encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256) · scoped, revocable access tokens · every read and write logged
Data security

Built so your security team can say yes.

Personal and sensitive employee data is protected end to end - controls mapped to enterprise and government review standards, with the documentation to back it up.

Encryption everywhere

Data is protected in transit and at rest, with managed keys and no data ever stored in plain text.

  • TLS 1.2+ in transit, AES-256 at rest
  • Key management & rotation
  • Tenant data isolation

Access & identity

Least-privilege by default. Your IdP controls who gets in, and every role is scoped to what it needs.

  • SSO (SAML / OIDC) with enforced MFA
  • Role-based access control
  • SCIM provisioning & de-provisioning

Visibility & assurance

Everything is logged and reviewable, with regular testing and a clear incident process.

  • Immutable audit logs of every access
  • Independent penetration testing
  • Defined incident & breach response
Compliance & privacy

Mapped to the frameworks your DPO and risk teams audit against.

VisaChief acts as a data processor on behalf of your organisation as controller, with the agreements, controls and transparency that global privacy and security regimes require.

What data we process - and why

Transparency on every data point.

VisaChief collects only what a sponsorship or relocation case genuinely needs. Here's the data, the purpose, the lawful basis and how long it's kept - the detail your privacy review will ask for.

Data categoryWhat it's used forLawful basis (GDPR)Retention
IdentityName, DOB, nationality, passport - eligibility & lodgementContract / legal obligationCase + statutory period
ContactEmail, phone, address - case communicationLegitimate interestDuration of engagement
EmploymentRole, salary, start date - sponsorship & salary-threshold complianceContract / legal obligationSponsorship + audit period
ImmigrationVisa history, conditions, prior applications - case managementLegal obligationStatutory record period
Special categoryHealth (medicals), where strictly required by the visa - minimisedExplicit consent / legal claimOnly as required, then deleted

Special-category data (e.g. health information for required medicals) is processed only where a specific visa class demands it, under additional safeguards and explicit consent. Data subjects can exercise access, rectification, erasure and portability rights through your organisation as controller; VisaChief supports each request as processor. Retention follows the longer of the case lifecycle or the statutory record-keeping period that applies to the relevant immigration authority.
