Why teams connect Paylocity and Redis Enterprise

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: Redis Enterprise and Paylocity share the same people, positions, and org structure in real time.

Paylocity is the system of record for the people side of the business — employees, candidates, roles, and the org structure around them. Redis Enterprise is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Pay Statements, Company Codes, Custom Fields, Employees in Paylocity need to exist as queryable Search indexes, Keys (Strings), Hashes, JSON documents in Redis Enterprise before an app can act on them. When that bridge is a nightly export or a hand-run CSV, every downstream system spends the day working from a roster that has already moved on.

Stacksync syncs Search indexes, Keys (Strings), Hashes, JSON documents in Redis Enterprise with Pay Statements, Company Codes, Custom Fields, Employees in Paylocity field by field, in real time. You decide which system owns which fields — Paylocity typically owns identity and org attributes, while operational or computed values can flow back the other way — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, matching records on a stable key and resolving conflicts by rules you set.

The result is one live picture of the workforce on both sides: HR keeps its source of truth, and the database keeps a current mirror that internal apps, reports, and access controls can trust without a batch window in between.

Common use cases

  • 01 Hydrate session stores and feature stores from a warehouse or operational database on a schedule.
  • 02 Write counters and leaderboard state from sorted sets back to an operational database for durable reporting.
  • 03 React to the Employee Change webhook to pull the updated Employee record and propagate title, location, or manager changes to downstream apps within minutes.
  • 04 Two-way sync of Employees between Paylocity and an HRIS or identity provider so new hires, terminations, and demographic edits flow both directions.

Common sync patterns

Reporting and analytics on current data

Pay Statements, Company Codes, Custom Fields, Employees replicate into Redis Enterprise where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

Org and structure stay aligned

Groups, departments, managers, and reporting lines from Paylocity stay consistent in Redis Enterprise, so hierarchy-driven logic and permissions don't drift.

Computed and operational fields flow back

Values assembled or corrected in Redis Enterprise write onto the matching record in Paylocity where those fields are writable, keeping the people system enriched.

What you can sync between Paylocity and Redis Enterprise

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Paylocity objects Redis Enterprise objects How this pairing syncs
Onboarding Create Employee Onboarding pushes new-hire data into Paylocity's onboarding workflow; Get Onboarding Status reads back partner onboarding progress. Write-in for hires from an ATS. Keys (Strings) Simple key-value pairs used to cache individual synced records or lookup values. Onboarding is specific to Paylocity and Keys (Strings) to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Deductions (Pay Setup) Recurring deduction codes at the employee level; two-way via Upsert Deduction and Delete, with Get Deduction / Get All Deductions for reads. Hashes Field-value maps that commonly hold one synced row per hash, keyed by record ID. Deductions (Pay Setup) is specific to Paylocity and Hashes to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Earnings (Pay Setup) Recurring earning codes at the employee level; two-way via Upsert Earning and Delete, with Get All Earnings and Get by earning code for reads. JSON documents Native JSON storage (RedisJSON) for nested records synced from APIs or document stores. Earnings (Pay Setup) is specific to Paylocity and JSON documents to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Local and State Taxes Two-way via Create/Update/Delete Local Tax and Upsert Primary / Non-Primary State Tax; Get by tax code and Get All for reads. Sets Unordered unique-member collections used for membership checks like segment or ID lists. Local and State Taxes is specific to Paylocity and Sets to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Direct Deposit Read-only: Get All Direct Deposit and Get Employee Bank Accounts return main and additional allocations. Bank details cannot be written through the API. Sorted Sets Score-ordered collections used for rankings, priority queues, and time-ordered indexes. Direct Deposit is specific to Paylocity and Sorted Sets to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Pay Statements Read-only detailed payroll statement data — earnings, deductions, taxes, and direct deposit allocations by year, check date, or date range. Pulled for reporting, never written. Lists Ordered sequences often used as lightweight queues fed by sync events. Pay Statements is specific to Paylocity and Lists to Redis Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Paylocity and Redis Enterprise

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Paylocity Redis Enterprise Sub-second propagation

DetectionPaylocity notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Redis Enterprise as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Redis Enterprise Paylocity Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Redis Enterprise for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Keyspace notifications over pub/sub or reads from Redis Streams.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Paylocity through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Paylocity: 25 requests per second (1,500 per minute); exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Every path is scoped to a Paylocity-assigned companyId (a company code, not a UUID).
  • Redis Enterprise: Throughput is bounded by provisioned cluster capacity rather than published API rate limits.

How the Paylocity and Redis Enterprise connectors work

Paylocity

Integration surface
REST API (v1 and v2), JSON payloads
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client credentials via the Paylocity Identity Provider (/IdentityServer/connect/token) with the WebLinkAPI scope; access tokens expire after one hour and API access must be enabled by Paylocity for the company
Change detection
Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL; payloads carry only companyId and employeeId, so the receiver calls the relevant API to fetch changed values. Scheduled polling is used for objects without webhooks.

Redis Enterprise

Integration surface
Redis wire protocol (RESP) via client libraries; separate REST API for cluster management
Authentication
Password or ACL-based credentials, typically over TLS

Keyspace notifications over pub/sub or reads from Redis Streams; no transaction-log CDC surface for data
