Automate Paylocity with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

• Timesheet errors before payroll

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00

  Step 1

  List the timesheet errors in Time & Labor for the current pay period.

  Step 2

  Keep the errors that were not there on the last run.

  Step 3

  Email you the new errors, grouped by employee.

• Payroll report to accounting after each check date

  Build this

  Starts

  When your system calls the workflow's webhook with a check date

  Step 1

  Run the payroll report you name from Reporting for that check date.

  Step 2

  Stop when the report has no rows.

  Step 3

  Post the rows, with the check date, to your accounting system's webhook.

• Overtime by employee, each pay period

  Build this

  Starts

  When your system calls the workflow's webhook with a check date

  Step 1

  For each employee ID on your list, get the pay statement summary for that check date.

  Step 2

  Keep the employees with overtime hours.

  Step 3

  Post employee ID, regular hours, overtime hours, gross pay and net pay to your webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get pay statement summaries for a check date” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "access.paylocity.com/get_pay_statement_summaries",
    "input": {
      "employee_ids": [
        "1042",
        "1187"
      ],
      "check_date": "2026-11-06"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "check_date": "2026-11-06",
    "statements": [

        "direct_deposit_amount": 1809.4,
        "check_number": 50381
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

Paylocity’s own options

Paylocity has REST APIs for employees, earnings, deductions, pay statements, punch details and payroll batches, plus webhooks for events such as new hires and processed payroll. Credentials are OAuth 2.0 client credentials issued after Paylocity approves an access request, and an integration goes live after Paylocity reviews it. Paylocity gives API pricing through your account executive.

Signing in to Paylocity

Paylocity's sign-in asks for the Company ID Paylocity assigned, a username and a password, and offers Single Sign-On Login through your company's own SSO provider. Its employee support pages also cover a one-time passcode that did not arrive. With Fous you sign in once through Paylocity's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256 and never returned by the API or written to logs.

Worth knowing

Your access level decides what you see

Depending on the access level your employer sets, a user may be unable to view or print reports or adjust timesheets. A method reads and does only what that account can.

Payroll is processed before the check date

Paylocity's Payroll Processed notice is sent on the process date, typically about two days before the check date, once all payroll processes are complete. Plan the hand-over to accounting around the process date.

Company punch data takes minutes to prepare

Paylocity's own punch detail API prepares company punches as an operation that can take several minutes. For one employee it filters up to 31 days at a time.

Company ID, username, then password

The password sign-in starts with the Company ID Paylocity assigned. Usernames are 3 to 40 characters and not case sensitive, and passwords are 8 to 72 characters and case sensitive.
