Why integrate with Paylocity
Common scenarios for SaaS companies building Paylocity integrations for their customers.
Sync employee rosters to automate user provisioning
SaaS companies pull employee demographics, job titles, departments, and reporting structures from Paylocity to automatically provision user accounts and map approval hierarchies—eliminating manual CSV uploads for their mid-market customers.
Push reimbursements and bonuses directly into payroll
Expense management, commission, and recognition platforms use Paylocity's Pay Entry API to inject one-time payments into an upcoming payroll batch, so employees get paid on their next check without HR manually keying amounts.
Automate benefits deduction updates from enrollment changes
Benefits administration and retirement SaaS platforms write updated deduction amounts back to Paylocity whenever an employee changes their elections, keeping payroll in sync without manual intervention from payroll managers.
React to employee lifecycle events in real time
IT provisioning, learning, and compliance platforms listen for Paylocity webhooks on hire, termination, and transfer events to trigger downstream workflows like access revocation or onboarding task creation the moment a status changes.
Import time and attendance data for payroll processing
Shift-scheduling, POS, and workforce management tools push aggregated clock-in/clock-out data into Paylocity so payroll runs include accurate hours without dual data entry across systems.

Payroll batch injection for reimbursements
Push approved expense reimbursements, spot bonuses, or commission payouts directly into Paylocity's current payroll batch so employees are paid on their next check.

Real-time termination and hire triggers
Subscribe to Paylocity's employee status change webhooks to instantly kick off workflows like revoking SaaS licenses on termination or shipping hardware on hire.
New hire push from ATS to Paylocity
When a candidate is marked as hired, automatically create their employee record in Paylocity with name, address, salary, and start date—bypassing manual data entry.
Post-payroll data pull for financial reconciliation
Listen for the Payroll Processed webhook and retrieve finalized pay statement details to reconcile 401k contributions, tax withholdings, or GL entries in your finance product.
How It Works
From zero to integrated
Go live with Paylocity in under an hour. No boilerplate, no maintenance burden.
Link your customer’s Paylocity account
Use Truto’s frontend SDK to connect your customer’s Paylocity account. We handle all OAuth and API key flows — you don’t need to create the OAuth app.
We handle authentication
Don’t spend time refreshing access tokens or figuring out secure storage. We handle it and inject credentials into every API request.
Call our API, we call Paylocity
Truto’s Proxy API is a 1-to-1 mapping of the Paylocity API. You call us, we call Paylocity, and pass the response back in the same cycle.
Unified response format
Every response follows a single format across all integrations. We translate Paylocity’s pagination into unified cursor-based pagination. Data is always in the result attribute.
FAQs
Common questions about Paylocity on Truto
Authentication, rate limits, data freshness, and everything else you need to know before you integrate.
What authentication method does Paylocity's API use?
Paylocity uses OAuth 2.0 with a client credentials flow. Your end users authorize access through Paylocity's partner onboarding process, and Truto handles token acquisition and refresh so you don't manage credentials directly.
Does Paylocity support webhooks for real-time event notifications?
Yes. Paylocity offers webhooks for key events including Payroll Processed and Employee Status Changes (hired, terminated, transferred). These allow your application to react immediately rather than polling for updates.
What data can I read from Paylocity's employee endpoints?
You can retrieve demographics, job titles, departments, manager IDs, compensation details, tax setup information, and employment status for all employees or by individual employee ID.
Can I write data back to Paylocity, or is it read-only?
Paylocity supports both read and write operations. You can create new employee records, add or update paycheck deductions, push earnings into payroll batches via the Pay Entry API, and import time punch data.
Is a Truto Unified API available for Paylocity today?
Paylocity is not yet mapped to a Truto Unified API but is available as a build-on-request integration. Truto will handle auth, pagination, and API-specific quirks so you get a clean, consistent interface. Reach out to discuss your specific data requirements.
What Paylocity customer segment will this integration serve?
Paylocity's core market is U.S. mid-market companies with 50 to 2,500+ employees across industries like healthcare, education, retail, and manufacturing. If your customers fall in this range, Paylocity is likely in their HR stack.
