Sync Paycom Data

Companies

The Company object is used to represent a company within the HRIS / Payroll system.

Docs
Employees

The Employee object is used to represent any person who has been employed by a company.

Docs
Employments

The Employment object is used to represent a job position at a company. If an integration supports historical tracking of employments, it will be reflected in the data. If not, a new Employment object will be created whenever there is a change in job title or pay. The effective_date field should be used to order Employment objects, with the most recent date corresponding to the latest employment record for an employee.

Docs
Groups

The Group object is used to represent any subset of employees across, for example, DEPARTMENT or TEAM. Employees can be in multiple Groups.

Docs
Locations

The Location object is used to represent an address that can be associated with an employee.

FAQ on integrating with Paycom’s API

What Paycom endpoints does Merge interact with?

Merge interacts with various Paycom API endpoints, including ones specific to employees, companies, and locations. These endpoints allow Merge to sync essential HR data, like employee statuses, locations, employment details, and more, enabling seamless data integration between your application and your customers’ instances of Paycom.

Learn more about Merge’s endpoint support for Paycom.

What are the available sync frequencies for Paycom data?

Your customers’ Paycom data can be synced in real-time using webhooks, or at regular, time-based intervals, such as every hour, every 6 hours, or once per day. This flexibility ensures that data remains accurate without overwhelming system resources​.

Learn more about the sync frequencies Merge supports for Paycom.

What are some use cases for Merge’s Paycom integration?

The use cases vary widely, as they depend on the type of platform you offer. That said, here are a few common use cases:

‍

  • Automatically adding or removing employees in your product once they’re added or marked as terminated in the associated customer’s instance of Paycom
  • Syncing payroll data from Paycom with your product to help users analyze and forecast their financials in your product
  • Syncing payroll data from Paycom with your product to help users assess employee compensation and make adjustments as needed

What HRIS integrations does Merge support in addition to Paycom?

Merge supports over 70 HRIS platforms, like ADP, BambooHR, Gusto, Workday, and SAP SuccessFactors. 

By using Merge’s HRIS Unified API, your developers can quickly connect your app to the 70+ HRIS platforms Merge supports, allowing you to add all of the integrations you need, quickly.

See all of the HRIS integrations Merge supports.

Can I fetch custom Paycom data fields using Merge?

Yes, Merge allows you to access and sync custom fields from Paycom via Merge’s Field Mapping feature, which lets you map data from customers' instances of Paycom to the Common Models you use. Additionally, the Remote Data and Authenticated Passthrough Request features let you fetch raw Paycom data directly if needed​​​.

What data security and privacy laws and regulations does Merge comply with?‍

Merge is compliant with SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA, and ISO 27001 standards. These certifications ensure that Merge provides robust security, privacy, and compliance for all data handling and storage processes​​ across integrations.

How is your customer's Paycom data encrypted and where is it stored?

Merge encrypts all data at rest and in transit using AES-256 encryption. Customer data is stored in AWS data centers located in the U.S. (Virginia), EU (Stockholm), and APAC (Singapore), depending on your data residency preferences. If required, Merge also offers single-tenant environments for additional security​​.

Meta Endpoint

Programmatically access required schemas

Third-party providers require specific (and often different) fields to write data to their APIs, making your code a mess.

Dynamically fetch required data schemas from Merge’s /meta endpoint to make POST or PATCH requests that just work.
