Paycor and Flexopus: Automatically synchronize absences
Connect your Paycor HR system with Flexopus to ensure absence data is always up to date in your workplace management—without manual entry.
What is Paycor synchronization?
The Paycor integration is a one-way data interface that allows Flexopus to pull absence data directly from your Paycor system. The connection is established via a unified API service, which standardizes and secures communication between the two systems.
Once the integration is active, Paycor transfers approved employee absences to Flexopus. The following information is synchronized: employee ID, approval ID, start and end dates, status, absence type, and optional notes.
This is a read-only synchronization: absence data can only be edited in Paycor and is then transferred to Flexopus.
What is the purpose of the integration?
The Paycor integration ensures that absence information from your HR system is visible directly in Flexopus, eliminating the need for employees or administrators to maintain data in two places.
This offers concrete benefits for your daily work:
- Employees can see their own absence status directly on the Flexopus dashboard.
- Teams can see who is in the office, working remotely, or away, making it much easier to plan office days.
- Bookings can be automatically canceled when an absence is recorded, preventing resources from being blocked unnecessarily (feature in development).
In short: The integration connects HR data with workplace management, creating a single source of truth for the entire team.
How easy is the setup?
Setting up the Paycor integration is straightforward and takes just a few steps. As an administrator, navigate to the integration settings in Flexopus, select Paycor, and grant the required API permissions in your Paycor system. The synchronization will then start automatically.
The HRIS integration module is available to all customers upon request and must be activated separately.

What are the benefits of the integration?
- Automatic synchronization: Approved absences from Paycor are automatically transferred to Flexopus—no manual effort required.
- Real-time availability: Everyone can see at a glance who is present, remote, or away.
- Fewer errors: Since data comes directly from the source, typos and outdated entries are eliminated.
- Privacy by design: Only the necessary absence information is transferred. Sensitive details (e.g., absence type) can be anonymized if desired.
- Seamless integration: Paycor remains the leading system for HR data—Flexopus simply reads the information.

Questions and answers
Is personal or sensitive data transferred?
Only the absence data necessary for Flexopus to function is synchronized, such as start and end dates and the status of an absence. The absence type (e.g., sick leave, vacation) can be anonymized upon request so that only "absent" is displayed in Flexopus. No payroll or salary data is transferred.
What happens if an absence is changed or deleted in Paycor?
Flexopus regularly synchronizes data from Paycor. Changes or deletions are automatically applied and updated in Flexopus during the next sync.
Can I enter or change absences in Paycor via Flexopus?
No. This is a read-only connection. Absences can only be recorded and edited in Paycor. Flexopus retrieves the data and makes it available for workplace management.
What are the requirements for the setup?
You need an active Flexopus account with the HRIS module enabled, as well as administrator rights in Paycor to grant the necessary API permissions. The HRIS module is available to all Flexopus customers upon request.
How are employees in Flexopus linked to Paycor entries?
Mapping is done via the email address. It is required that the email address is identical in both systems. If the addresses match, absence data is automatically assigned to the corresponding user in Flexopus.
