Flexspring Named HR Data Integration Experts of the Year

Payworks to Any HR App Integration: How to Connect Payworks with Your HR App

When a hiring manager presses the new hire button in your ATS or core HR system, the new employee’s details appear in Payworks in near real time — nobody retypes them, and payroll has what it needs to run. Employee changes travel the same way, so the record payroll works from matches the record HR maintains. Your team gets an end to double-data entry between HR and payroll.

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connection for you. The sync runs over a direct API-to-API connection rather than a scheduled file transfer, and there is nothing for your team to install or maintain. A custom integration goes live in 10–12 weeks. With Flexspring, you only pay for the use case or use cases you need.

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

Does Payworks integrate with other HR apps?

With data integration, new hires and employee updates move from your ATS or core HR system into Payworks automatically, in near real time. The sync runs over a direct API-to-API connection rather than a scheduled file transfer. Flexspring builds the integration to match your custom fields and business rules, then hosts and monitors it.

How do I connect Payworks to my 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. The connection runs API-to-API, so data moves in near real time instead of waiting for a scheduled file.

What employee information syncs?

With data integration, new hires and employee updates sync from your ATS or core HR system into Payworks, with the information payroll needs to run. 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 Payworks with your HR app is fully deployed 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 Payworks to your HR app?

With data integration, when a hiring manager presses the new hire button in your ATS or core HR system, the new employee’s details appear in Payworks in near real time — nobody retypes them, and payroll has what it needs to run. Your team gets an end to double-data entry between HR and payroll.

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

The best way to connect Payworks 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.
