Flexspring Named HR Data Integration Experts of the Year

Paycor Integrations: How to Connect Paycor to Any HR App or ERP

When a hiring manager presses the hire button in your ATS or core HR system, the new employee’s information appears in Paycor automatically — nobody retypes it. Flexspring connects Paycor to any HR app through a direct API-to-API connection, so new hires and employee changes move across in near real time rather than waiting on a scheduled file transfer.

Paycor sends data out as well. Payroll journal entries flow from Paycor into your ERP, summarised into one entry per payroll run per subsidiary and checked for balanced debits and credits, and new hires and employee changes flow from Paycor into your ERP for workforce management. Approved expense reimbursements travel the other way, from your ERP into Paycor.

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connection for you, and no internal IT resources are needed — Flexspring’s experts do all the custom data mapping, matching the field names and data syntax your apps already use, including custom fields. A custom integration deploys in 10-12 weeks, depending on complexity. Flexspring is a Paycor Marketplace Partner.

How the integration works

1
Scoping. You pick the use cases you need from the list above. Flexspring maps every field between the two systems, including your custom fields and business rules.
2
Direct connection. Flexspring iPaaS connects the two systems to each other over secure APIs. There are no spreadsheets to export, no files to transfer, and no manual steps in the middle.
3
Near real-time sync. When a record changes — a hire, a promotion, an approved time-off request — the change moves across in near real time rather than waiting for an overnight batch.
4
Monitoring and error handling. The integration is monitored continuously, with error handling, visibility into every transaction, and a named support contact. When either app changes their API, Flexspring updates your integration.
5
Ongoing changes. Your integration is future-proofed for ongoing enhancements without re-implementation, and adapts to custom fields, new locations, new systems and business rules.

Flexspring iPaaS does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

Frequently asked questions

What does Paycor integrate with?

Paycor connects to any HR app, ATS or ERP through a custom Flexspring connector. New hires and employee changes move into Paycor from your ATS or core HR system, payroll journal entries and employee data flow out of Paycor into your ERP, and approved expense reimbursements come into Paycor from your ERP. Flexspring builds the integration to match your custom fields and business rules, then hosts and monitors it.

How do I connect Paycor to another HR app?

You decide which information you want to sync, and a data integration expert like Flexspring maps every field between the two systems and builds the connection. Custom integrations by Flexspring include unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. There is nothing for your team to install or maintain.

What employee information syncs?

With data integration, new hires and employee changes sync, including your custom fields, in either direction between Paycor and your HR app, ATS or ERP. Paycor payroll journal entries reach your ERP summarised per payroll run and subsidiary, and approved expense reimbursements reach Paycor from your ERP. You can also add one-time payments, banking and tax, expense management, learning management, equity systems, background checks and assessments.

How long does the integration take?

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connector. A custom integration of the Flexspring connector for Paycor with your HR app deploys in 10-12 weeks, depending on complexity. Custom integration by Flexspring includes unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. Flexspring does all the data mapping, so no internal IT resources are needed.

Is our employee data stored anywhere during the transfer?

Flexspring does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and does not require anyone to handle the data manually. Flexspring meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

Do we need IT or a developer to set this up?

No internal IT resources are needed to create your data integration. Flexspring’s team builds the integration to your requirements and monitors it afterwards, including handling API changes from either vendor. Your part is deciding which use cases you need and confirming Flexspring’s recommendations for how your fields should map.

Why connect Paycor to your HR app?

With data integration, when a hiring manager presses the hire button in your ATS or core HR system, the new employee’s information appears in Paycor automatically — nobody retypes it.

What’s the best way to connect Paycor to your HR app?

The best way to connect Paycor to your HR app depends on your data and business requirements. A standard connector can work for simple data flows, while custom fields and unique business rules require a tailored integration. If you go the custom route, you can build the integration yourself or choose a managed integration like Flexspring’s — built and maintained for you, which is typically faster and cheaper.
