Sync Dayforce data
Employments
The Employment object is used to represent a job position at a company. If an integration supports historical tracking of employments, it will be reflected in the data. If not, a new Employment object will be created whenever there is a change in job title or pay. The effective_date field should be used to order Employment objects, with the most recent date corresponding to the latest employment record for an employee.
FAQ on integrating with Dayforce API
What data sync frequencies are available for Dayforce through Merge?
Dayforce data can be synced at different frequencies depending on the sync frequency you set (Daily, Standard, High, and Highest) as well as the Common Model you’re interested in syncing. That said, you can typically sync Dayforce data every hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, or daily.
Learn more about the sync frequencies Merge supports for Dayforce.
How does Merge interact with Dayforce endpoints?
Merge interacts with several Dayforce endpoints, allowing you to access and sync employee, time-off, team, location, compensation data, and more. Merge also supports GET requests across these endpoints, enabling you to fetch a wide range of employee data for your product.
Learn more about the Dayforce endpoints Merge can access.
How does Merge log Dayforce data, and how long does it retain data?
Merge retains API request logs based on your plan. Logs are retained for 3 days on the Launch plan, 7 days on the Core plan, 30 days on the Professional plan, and 90+ days on the Enterprise plan. Webhook logs follow a similar retention policy, ensuring visibility into integration activities across all customer accounts.
Can Merge access and sync custom Dayforce data?
Merge lets you sync custom Dayforce data through features like Field Mapping, Remote Data, and Authenticated Passthrough Requests. Here’s more on each feature:
- Field Mapping lets customers map custom data fields to Merge’s Common Models
- Remote Data provides access to the original, unaltered data format
- Authenticated Passthrough Request supports direct requests to Dayforce’s API for any data not available through standard Merge requests
