Automating data exchange between HR and finance means a new hire, a salary change, or a benefit adjustment updates both departments' relevant data automatically — instead of HR maintaining one spreadsheet and finance a separate one that has to be manually reconciled. In **Jestor**, this works because both departments can share the same relational structure.

The HR-to-finance handoff tends to happen through spreadsheet exports and manual updates precisely because the two departments have historically used separate systems that don't talk to each other.

## What breaks in manual HR-finance data exchange

- HR and finance maintaining separate versions of overlapping employee data
- Manual updates to payroll-relevant data after an HR change is approved
- No shared visibility into pending changes that will affect the budget
- Reconciliation errors from data drifting between the two separate systems

## How automated exchange works

- Employee records can be shared relationally between HR and finance processes
- An approved HR change (raise, new hire) can trigger an update to relevant financial data
- **Alçada**\-based approval ensures changes affecting budget go through the right review
- Both departments reference the same underlying record, not separate copies

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Relational data structure means HR and finance reference, not duplicate, shared information
- Automations handle the handoff without manual spreadsheet exports
- Approval logic ensures financial impact gets appropriate review
- Reduces reconciliation errors that come from maintaining separate data copies

| HR event          | Automated finance impact                                |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| New hire approved | Triggers relevant budget or payroll-related data update |
| Salary adjustment | Routed through appropriate approval                     |
