What Uncommon Giving's HRIS and payroll integration includes

From automated employee sync to payroll deduction giving and SAML 2.0 SSO, our integrations connect to the systems your HR and IT teams already manage — so your program is live on day one.

Automated Employee Sync

Your employee roster stays current automatically. New hires are provisioned and departures are deactivated in Uncommon Giving as soon as your HRIS reflects the change — no CSV imports, no manual cleanup.

The highest standard in matching gift automation

Beyond HRIS and payroll integration, Uncommon Giving is a Certified Leader in Matching Automation (CLMA), awarded by Double the Donation.

  • CLMA is the highest industry recognition for matching gift technology
  • Auto-submission removes manual steps for employees and nonprofits alike
  • Certified by Double the Donation, the leading matching gift database
  • Increases match submission rates vs. platforms requiring manual filing

Set up your HRIS and payroll integration in four steps

No IT project. No professional services. Most customers are fully connected and live within 48 hours of signing up.

1

Connect Your HRIS

Select your payroll or HR platform — Paychex, ADP, UKG, Paylocity, Paycor, and many others supported — and authorize the API connection. Uncommon Giving pulls your current employee roster automatically.

2

Configure SSO

Register Uncommon Giving as a SAML app in your identity provider using the ACS URL and Entity ID we provide. Share your IdP's metadata URL with our team — we'll enable SSO for your workplace from there.

3

Set Matching Rules

Configure your matching gift ratios, per-employee caps, and eligible nonprofit criteria. CLMA certification ensures the submission flow runs without employee intervention.

4

Launch to Your Team

Employees log in with their existing SSO credentials, find their giving wallet already funded, and can start giving and volunteering immediately — no separate onboarding needed.

Built for IT teams that don't cut corners

Uncommon Giving's integration architecture is designed to meet the security expectations of enterprise HR and IT teams — with the simplicity your CSR team needs to manage it themselves.

  • SOC 2 Type II compliant infrastructure via our underlying service providers
  • OAuth 2.0 and API key authentication for all HRIS connections
  • All data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256)
  • SAML 2.0 SSO — no shared credentials stored in Uncommon Giving
  • Role-based access controls for admin, manager, and employee tiers

Customer Testimonial

"We connected Uncommon Giving to our existing payroll environment in an afternoon. Employees logged in with their existing SSO the next morning and our whole program was live — no IT tickets, no onboarding calls."

HRIS and payroll integration FAQs

Which HR and payroll systems does Uncommon Giving integrate with?
Uncommon Giving's HRIS and payroll integration supports Paychex, Paylocity, Paycor, ADP, and UKG, among many others. These integrations handle automatic employee roster sync, department and location mapping, and payroll deduction giving — feeding data directly into your workplace giving program. If you don't see your platform listed, contact our team — additional integrations are available and new providers are added regularly.
What does the SSO integration enable?
The SSO integration enables IdP-initiated Single Sign-On via SAML 2.0. Once configured, employees click the Uncommon Giving app in their identity provider's dashboard and are signed in automatically — no separate account or password needed. Setup involves registering a SAML application in your IdP using values provided by Uncommon Giving, then sharing your IdP's metadata URL with our team to activate SSO for your workplace.
What is the CLMA certification and why does it matter?
The Certified Leader in Matching Automation (CLMA) is the highest industry recognition for matching gift technology, awarded by Double the Donation. It certifies that Uncommon Giving supports matching gift auto-submission — so when an employee donates, a match request is submitted automatically without any paperwork. This dramatically increases match rates and ensures nonprofits receive funds that would otherwise go unclaimed.
How long does the HRIS and payroll integration setup take?
Most customers complete their HRIS and payroll integration within the same day they sign up — no IT project required. Connecting a supported platform like Paychex, ADP, UKG, Paylocity, or Paycor involves authorizing an API connection and confirming field mappings — typically a 30–45 minute process. SSO setup adds another hour at most. After setup, all integrations run automatically in the background.
Does Uncommon Giving support payroll deduction giving?
Yes. Through the HRIS and payroll integration — including Paychex, Paylocity, Paycor, ADP, and UKG — employees can elect to fund their Uncommon Giving wallet directly from their paycheck via payroll deduction. Deduction amounts and frequencies sync back to your HRIS automatically. Pre-tax contributions into a DAF-backed giving account may offer employees an additional tax advantage — employees should consult their tax advisor for specifics.
Is employee data shared with third parties through these integrations?
No. The HRIS integration pulls only the data needed to provision employee accounts — name, work email, department, location, and employment status. This data is not sold or shared with third parties. All data flows are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Our infrastructure providers are SOC 2 Type II compliant. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.
