Termination Webhooks

Triggers for Termination Webhooks Notification

Terminate an employee using one of the following processes:

  • Log into HR & Payroll and terminate the employee.
  • Terminate an employee via Web Link imports.
  • Use Paylocity Web Services API with an update employee request.

Common use cases for these Webhooks

  1. Creating action queues for internal systems
  2. Automate disabling of active directory users
  3. Automate disabling user accounts in other systems

📘

Implementation Recommendation

Don't rely on the Webhooks notification to provide all updated information fields, instead make a call to the relevant APIs to get the latest details; in some cases, especially related to employee information, a single user triggered change may result in additional automated system changes to that data object. Calls can be made using the company and ID values provided from the notification.
