How does the integration work?

The integration allows you to transfer your employees' files and timesheets to Payworks. Employee file synchronization is unidirectional and takes place automatically every 4 hours.

In addition to employee file synchronization, it is possible to create and edit employees in Folks and synchronize them with Payworks.

Timesheet synchronization must be performed manually.
