Workday to Paycor Integration: How to Connect Workday with Paycor

When a hiring manager presses the hired button in Workday, the new employee’s information appears in Paycor automatically — nobody retypes it. Flexspring connects Workday to Paycor directly, so new hires and employee updates move across in near real time over an API-to-API connection, carrying the information Paycor needs to process payroll.

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connection for you. There are no files to upload and nothing for your team to maintain, and an end to double-data entry between Workday and Paycor. A custom integration goes live in 8–10 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.
