Job Code API
The Job Code API enables API users to manage company-level job codes within the Paylocity Payroll and HR system. This API is designed to help businesses implement job costing by allowing them to allocate wages and hours to specific job codes rather than cost centers.
Job costing is particularly beneficial for organizations engaged in contract-based work, as it helps track labor costs associated with different projects, customers, or job sites. By integrating job codes with payroll, companies can ensure accurate wage distribution, improve financial reporting, and maintain compliance with labor tracking requirements.
Key Features & Capabilities
- Create Job Codes – Add new company-level job codes directly into the Paylocity system.
- Get Job Codes – Fetch details of a specific job code or a complete list of job codes.
- Update Job Code – Modify existing job codes to reflect job classification or assignment changes.
- Delete Job Code – Remove job codes that are no longer in use.
Use Cases
- Automated Job Code Management: Companies using external systems (such as a CRM or job tracking software) can sync job codes with payroll in real time, ensuring consistency across platforms.
- Job Costing in Payroll: Businesses can allocate wages and hours to job codes, helping track payroll expenses at a granular level. This is especially useful for contract work where labor costs must be associated with specific projects or clients.
- Seamless Payroll Integration: By managing job codes through the API, businesses can reduce manual data entry, minimize errors, and improve payroll processing efficiency.
