Tanda/Workforce.com offers an integration with the Paychex payroll system to automatically keep employee information up to date in the Tanda/Workforce.com system.
If this is your first time setting up an integration, see Connecting Your Payroll System to Workforce
Information Checklist
In order to integrate Paychex with your Tanda/Workforce.com account, you will need the following pieces of information.
API Credentials
You will need to request API credentials (API key & API secret) from Paychex that includes permission to access the following endpoints:
GET company jobs
GET company labour assignments
GET company workers
GET company locations
GET worker communications
GET worker pay rates
Company ID
Your unique company id in the Paychex system. It should be a combination of letters and numbers.
Job IDs (optional)
If you wish to only import users with a particular job, you can specify which job(s) by listing their id(s) in the appropriate field.
Configuring Integration Settings
Name your integration
Enter CompanyID and API credentials
By default, your integration will periodically check for new staff in Paychex and import them into Workforce. If you would like to disable automatic import, simply uncheck the Auto Import Staff box.
You can also configure your integration to automatically import teams based on either Job or Labour Assignment.
If you would like to import only employees with certain Job IDs or assign award tags to employees based on fields from Paychex, you can configure them under the Advanced Settings menu. If you configure these after your initial import, they will not be applied until the next time Workforce syncs with Paychex.
Once you've finalized your settings, click "save". At this point, Integration setup is complete. Please refer to the syncing or import options below for next steps. If any issues arise, please consult the Troubleshooting section
