Sync Paycor data

BankInfo

The BankInfo object is used to represent the Bank Account information for an Employee.

Company

The Company object is used to represent a company within the HRIS / Payroll system.

Employee

The Employee object is used to represent any person who has been employed by a company. By default, it returns all employees. To filter for only active employees, set the employment_status query parameter to ACTIVE.

Employment

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.

Group

The Group object is used to represent any subset of employees across, for example, DEPARTMENT or TEAM. Employees can be in multiple Groups.

Location

The Location object is used to represent an address that can be associated with an employee.

Team

The Team object is used to represent a subdivision of the company, usually a department. Each employee will be grouped into one specific Team.

TimeOff

The TimeOff object is used to represent all employees' Time Off entries.

TimesheetEntry

The Timesheet Entry object is used to track coverage for hours worked by an 'Employee'.

Merge requests data from Paycor at intervals determined by your sync plan:

Manual Syncs: Initiated by the user as needed
Daily Syncs: Conducted once every 24 hours
Standard Syncs: Occur multiple times daily (typically every 6 hours)
High-Frequency Syncs: More frequent than standard, suitable for environments requiring up-to-date information (typically every 3 hours)

Meta endpoint

Programmatically access required schemas

Third-party providers require specific (and often different) fields to write data to their APIs, making your code a mess.

Dynamically fetch required data schemas from Merge’s /meta endpoint to make POST or PATCH requests that just work.
