Overview
To authenticate Paycor, you will need to provide the following information:
-
Company ID
Prerequisites
You have a Paycor username and password with access to AppCreator. The Developer Portal is available to all Paycor clients; however, an HR/Payroll/Company Admin must create an App Creator account to utilize the API.
Log in to your Paycor Portal
-
Go to developers.paycor.com.
-
Click on Sign In in the upper-right hand corner and log in using your username and password.
-
Return to the landing page at developers.paycor.com and select Join.
-
Select Get Started below Are you an existing Paycor Client.
-
Select the Client IDs you would like to be eligible for this App Creator account. Alternatively, select All existing and Future Clients.
Find your Company ID
-
Click on the ☰ menu icon, then click on Company > Departments.
-
Retrieve your company ID from the top left. It will look something like "290180".
Enter information in the linking flow
-
Back in the linking flow, select either Paycor Sandbox or Paycor Production Account, depending on the URL that you use to log into the Paycor instance.
-
Enter the Company ID you created from step 2 above. A window will pop up.
-
Log in using your Paycor username and password.
Note: It is not currently possible to add multiple company IDs to a single linked account. Instead, you must create a linked account for each company ID as described in Linking Multiple Linked Accounts in a Single API Category.
Log into your Engine account
-
Go to Settings and then click on Integrations.
-
Select your HR platform and click Connect. You’ll be guided through a simple process to authorize the integration.
-
The data will sync between your HR platform and ours. We’ll invite all employees without an Engine account and update employee data every 24 hours based on changes in the HR platform.
-
Once connected, you can turn on automatic invites for every new employee added to your company.
-
Departing employees will automatically lose their access.
