Why teams connect Paylocity and Yellowbrick
Land the people and organization records from Paylocity in Yellowbrick as live tables for workforce reporting, without extract jobs, and write computed results back where Paylocity can use them.
Workforce data is some of the most requested data in the warehouse and some of the most awkward to move: the record types are many, the fields carry sensitive personal information, the APIs are strict, and hand-built extract jobs go stale or break quietly. Whether Paylocity is the system of record for employees and payroll, for candidates and applications, or for learners and course completions, the reporting belongs in Yellowbrick next to everything else the company measures.
Stacksync syncs Onboarding, Deductions (Pay Setup), Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes from Paylocity into tables in Yellowbrick continuously, handling API limits and schema drift as they come. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Yellowbrick, such as headcount rollups, cost allocations, or attrition risk flags, can be written back to fields in Paylocity where the HR team acts on them. You configure which records and fields cross over, and in which direction, instead of maintaining pipeline code.
Common use cases
- 01 Land ERP transactional extracts in Yellowbrick for finance and supply-chain analytics.
- 02 Push warehouse-computed aggregates or segments back into operational tools such as a CRM.
- 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
Write-back of computed values
Segments, rollups, or risk flags computed in Yellowbrick sync back onto the matching records in Paylocity, where the HR team sees them in the system they already use.
HR data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline
People and organization records from Paylocity arrive in Yellowbrick as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind, replacing hand-built extract jobs.
Headcount and cost joined with everything else
Analysts combine Paylocity's workforce records with finance, product, or operational data already in Yellowbrick for reporting the HR system cannot produce on its own.
What you can sync between Paylocity and Yellowbrick
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 | Yellowbrick objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | Tables Columnar MPP tables; the primary targets for warehouse syncs. | Deductions (Pay Setup) is specific to Paylocity and Tables to Yellowbrick — 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. | Views Logical views used to shape reads for BI and downstream syncs. | Earnings (Pay Setup) is specific to Paylocity and Views to Yellowbrick — 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. | Users and Roles Access-control objects that govern what a sync service account can read and write. | Local and State Taxes is specific to Paylocity and Users and Roles to Yellowbrick — 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. | Databases Top-level containers for schemas and tables. | Direct Deposit is specific to Paylocity and Databases to Yellowbrick — 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. | Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by source or domain. | Pay Statements is specific to Paylocity and Schemas to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Paylocity and Yellowbrick
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 Yellowbrick 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 Yellowbrick as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Yellowbrick Paylocity Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Yellowbrick for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp columns.
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).
- Yellowbrick: No API rate limits; throughput depends on cluster sizing, and bulk loads should use ybload rather than row-by-row inserts.

How the Paylocity and Yellowbrick 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.

FAQ
Paylocity and Yellowbrick integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Paylocity and Yellowbrick: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Paylocity's Deductions (Pay Setup) and Earnings (Pay Setup)), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
-
Common patterns for Paylocity and Yellowbrick: Write-back of computed values; HR data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline; Headcount and cost joined with everything else. Segments, rollups, or risk flags computed in Yellowbrick sync back onto the matching records in Paylocity, where the HR team sees them in the system they already use.
-
Paylocity: 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. Yellowbrick: SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL-compatible) with JDBC/ODBC drivers; bulk loading via the ybload utility. Authentication: Database credentials, with LDAP and Kerberos options in enterprise deployments. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Yellowbrick: The front end is PostgreSQL-compatible, so standard Postgres drivers and SQL tooling connect without custom clients. Paylocity: The rate limit is 25 calls per second (1,500 per minute); full-employee reads must be paged and throttled to avoid HTTP 429 errors. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Paylocity and Yellowbrick without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Paylocity and Yellowbrick records are not retained after a sync operation.
