Migrate your Paycor data

Core HR record in Paycor containing compensation, job history, classification, and employment status. Standard fields export cleanly via the Persons and Employee endpoints. Custom fields require field-level mapping to destination schema.

Linked to Employees and containing demographic and contact data. Exposed via the GET /Persons endpoint filtered by Legal Entity or Tenant ID. Standard fields migrate 1:1; name and address formats may need normalization.

The organizational hierarchy root in Paycor, representing distinct business entities or subsidiaries. All subordinate objects (departments, work locations, time off plans) attach to a Legal Entity. We map each Legal Entity to its corresponding organization in the destination.

Paycor manages time off through Plan and Type objects per Legal Entity. Plans define accrual rules; Types define categories (PTO, sick, etc.). We map plan accrual rates and carryover rules to equivalent destination plan structures, flagging any plans with non-standard configurations.

Geographic locations tied to Legal Entities, used for tax jurisdiction, overtime rules, and compliance. Fully supported via GET /LegalEntityWorkLocations and /LegalEntityWorkSites. We preserve location codes and address data for accurate payroll tax mapping.

Organizational position descriptors available via GET /JobTitles. We export all active titles and preserve associations to employees and departments. Titles used as filters in payroll rules require mapping to destination equivalents.

Historical payroll registers, pay stubs, tax filings, and garnishment orders. These require special handling due to Paycor's payroll change reports and deduction import formats. We extract via the payroll changes report and normalize for destination import.

Hourly earnings data, time punches, and accrual history exposed via Employee Earnings and Punch endpoints. Punch data is split by Employee and by Entity. We normalize to destination's time entry format and flag overtime calculation differences.

Organizational cost center hierarchy per Legal Entity. Exported via the Departments endpoint. We preserve department codes, names, and parent-child relationships for accurate GL costing mapping.

Pay Groups define grouping rules for compensation and benefits eligibility. Labor Categories define job classification for costing. Both require mapping to destination equivalents, especially when GL Job Costing is in use.

Benefit deduction codes and garnishment orders require alignment between Maxwell Health-style import files and Paycor's deduction changes report format. We map deduction codes and amounts to destination benefit plan structures, flagging any codes with no destination equivalent.

Current PTO balances and accrual transaction history are stored per Employee and Time Off Plan. We export current balances and accrual rates and map to destination time-off plan structures, preserving carryover rules where applicable.

Personnel documents are stored separately from the Employee record. Third-party tools like TAP Innovations and ResNav specialize in extracting these at scale. We coordinate with document archive partners and map document-to-employee linkages for destination placement.
