Frequently Asked Questions

What is DATEV, and which DATEV components are supported by Leapsome?

DATEV is a leading payroll and accounting software used by businesses and tax advisors in Germany. It simplifies payroll processing, tax reporting, and financial management, making it a key tool for compliant and efficient HR operations.

Leapsome’s DATEV integration covers DATEV LODAS (payroll processing through an automated system) and the eAU (elektronische Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung) — Germany’s digital sick leave system, which allows healthcare providers to share incapacity notes digitally with health insurers and employers.

How does Leapsome integrate with DATEV?

Leapsome offers a native integration with DATEV, allowing HR teams to seamlessly export payroll-relevant data such as working hours, absences, and employee information. This eliminates manual data entry and ensures accurate, efficient payroll processing (read more).


What kind of data can be exported to DATEV from Leapsome?

You can export key information including employee profiles, salaries, time-tracking data, and absences — all pre-structured for DATEV’s requirements. This simplifies collaboration with your tax advisor or internal payroll team.

Who is the DATEV integration designed for?

This integration is especially useful for companies based in Germany or working with tax advisors who use DATEV. It’s ideal for HR teams that want to reduce admin effort and improve payroll accuracy through automation.

Does the DATEV integration help reduce manual HR work?

Yes. By syncing relevant employee data directly from Leapsome to DATEV, the integration cuts down on duplicate data entry, lowers the risk of errors, and frees up your HR team for more strategic tasks.

Can I use the DATEV integration with other Leapsome modules like Time Tracking?

Absolutely. The integration pulls data from Leapsome’s Time Tracking and Core HR modules, ensuring all relevant information is automatically formatted and ready for export to DATEV.

Is the DATEV integration secure and compliant?

Yes. Leapsome follows strict data protection standards, including GDPR compliance and ISO 27001:2022 certification. You can trust that sensitive employee data is handled securely during transfers. Access our Trust Center to learn more.

How do I set up the DATEV integration in Leapsome?
