What you can do
Four things you can do once Paylocity is connected
Paylocity holds your employee records. Empuls reads them, so rewards and recognition run without a second employee list to maintain.
New hires appear without manual uploads
- Employees created automatically
- When a profile is created in Paylocity, the employee is created in Empuls on the next sync. No spreadsheets and no separate admin step.
- Ready for recognition from day one
- Name, email, department, and designation arrive with the profile, so new joiners can receive and give recognition right away.
Profiles stay current
- Updates flow through on every sync
- Change a department, designation, grade, or location in Paylocity and Empuls picks it up on the next sync.
- Paylocity stays the source of truth
- Employee data is maintained in one place. Empuls reads from Paylocity, so the two never drift apart.
Leavers are removed for you
- Exit status drives removal
- Employees who exit are removed from Empuls based on the exit date and status in Paylocity.
- No clean-up for HR
- There is no separate offboarding list to maintain in Empuls. The sync handles it.
Map the fields you need
- 14+ mappable fields
- Name, email, employee ID, grade, department, designation, date of birth, joining date, mobile, business unit, cost center, and location.
- Organize programs by team and place
- Department, business unit, cost center, and location from Paylocity help you organize rewards and recognition by team and site.
