2-Way API Integration

Automated Syncing

Easy Employee Access
Employees view pay stubs and T4s directly in BambooHR — no extra logins needed for payroll.
How It Works
BambooHR is your source of truth for employee data. All key details — such as job titles, pay rates, and contact info — are entered and maintained in BambooHR.
Data flows from BambooHR to PGi on a schedule you choose, eliminating duplicate entry and reducing errors. Once payroll is complete, PGi sends pay stubs and T4s back to BambooHR so employees can access everything in one familiar place.
If you use PGi for time tracking or scheduling, employees can log in to PGi to view schedules, clock in/out, or request time off. Administrators have full control over access permissions, so employees only see what they need.
