Usually payroll is not considered as part of the ERP but I would recommend to be all from one vendor (SAP , Oracle, Microsoft , etc..) . 

I would view it as follows:

 

1) ERP : contains all the functionalities such as manufacturing , inventory , order management , etc..

2) HCM : Human capital management activities , managing employees , abscence , etc..

3) Payroll : Defining payment rules and other rules related to payroll and running the payroll

 

HCM is of course integrated with payroll and ERP (e.g linking the wages and attendance data with manufacturing for certain calculations) .

 

If you use different solution , integration won't be as seamless as you would need an interface or different method for your integration .

I’d rather have a separate ERP system to maintain payroll data, in order to keep the data safe and backed up independently from any other data, and for us to have a quicker response time when it comes to payroll handling.

If you are a big or medium sized organisation you can use SAP / Oracle as an ERP for all your HCM requirements. There is no need to have separate ERP for payroll purposes.
