Why teams connect Paylocity and VoltDB

Put your workforce data where your apps can reach it: VoltDB 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. VoltDB is where internal tools, dashboards, provisioning jobs, and analytics actually read and store records. The overlap is the workforce itself: Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes, Direct Deposit, Pay Statements in Paylocity need to exist as queryable Materialized Views, Streams, Export Targets and Topics, Partitioned Tables in VoltDB 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 Materialized Views, Streams, Export Targets and Topics, Partitioned Tables in VoltDB with Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes, Direct Deposit, Pay Statements 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 Stream committed VoltDB results out through export targets into a warehouse for historical analysis.
  • 02 Keep product, plan, or entitlement state consistent between VoltDB and back-office systems.
  • 03 Upsert recurring Deductions and Earnings on employee records when benefits or 401(k) elections change in a benefits admin system, without re-keying payroll setup.
  • 04 Read Pay Statements and Direct Deposit allocations into a Postgres or warehouse database for labor-cost, GL, and headcount reporting in SQL.

Common sync patterns

Mirror people records into the database

Records maintained in Paylocity land as queryable Materialized Views, Streams, Export Targets and Topics, Partitioned Tables in VoltDB, so internal apps and dashboards read live data instead of a periodic export.

One directory of record

When a person record is added, changed, or deactivated in either system, the matching row in the other stays current, ending dual maintenance.

Reporting and analytics on current data

Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes, Direct Deposit, Pay Statements replicate into VoltDB where they join operational tables, so headcount, roles, and status reports run on the live state without manual pulls.

What you can sync between Paylocity and VoltDB

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 VoltDB objects How this pairing syncs
Employees Core HR record keyed by companyId + employeeId; two-way via Create New Employee (POST) and Update Employee (PATCH), plus Get Employee / Get All Employees for reads. Partitioned Tables Tables sharded across partitions by a partitioning column; the primary transactional store and sync target. Employees is specific to Paylocity and Partitioned Tables to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Replicated Tables Small reference tables copied to every partition, a common landing spot for synced lookup data. Onboarding is specific to Paylocity and Replicated Tables to VoltDB — 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. Stored Procedures Precompiled transactional units that serve as the primary write interface. Deductions (Pay Setup) is specific to Paylocity and Stored Procedures to VoltDB — 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. Materialized Views Synchronously maintained aggregates over tables, useful as pre-computed read sources. Earnings (Pay Setup) is specific to Paylocity and Materialized Views to VoltDB — 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. Streams Insert-only constructs that feed the export subsystem with committed rows. Local and State Taxes is specific to Paylocity and Streams to VoltDB — 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. Export Targets and Topics Connectors that push committed data to external systems such as Kafka or JDBC sinks. Direct Deposit is specific to Paylocity and Export Targets and Topics to VoltDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Paylocity and VoltDB

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 VoltDB 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 VoltDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

VoltDB Paylocity Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls VoltDB for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Export streams and topics push committed changes to configured targets.

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).
  • VoltDB: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by partition count and cluster sizing.

How the Paylocity and VoltDB 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.
