01 · Employee Data Sync

How employee records move between Pay Cat and ShiftCare.

API connection
Yes

Pay Cat pushes employee updates to ShiftCare automatically, with no manual exports.

Data flow direction
Pay Cat → ShiftCare

One-way sync. ShiftCare doesn’t write changes back to Pay Cat.

Data exchanged
✓ Name & email ✓ Pay rate / classification ✓ Leave requests not exchanged: Leave balances

Pay classification comes through via the employment agreement, mapped to a costing profile, not as a raw hourly rate.

Sync trigger
Webhook, plus on-demand

Runs automatically whenever employee or leave records change in Pay Cat, or any time on request.

Unique identifier
Email address

Staff are matched by payroll email on first import, then permanently linked by their Pay Cat Employee ID.

Beyond name and email, we also bring across employment type, date of birth, gender, address, phone and emergency contact details.

ShiftCare integration notes
02 · Timesheets & Rostering

How shift and timesheet data reaches Pay Cat for pay runs.

Timesheets via API
Yes
Spreadsheet export
Not supported

Timesheets come through the API, so a manual file isn’t needed.

Work type / service mapping
Yes

Custom work types and service types can be mapped to Pay Cat cost items.

Sleepover shifts
Active + wake time handled

Active time has defined start and end times, and the sleepover is split so it never overlaps the wake-up time, so no manual adjustment is needed.

Travel time
Recorded & exported

Travel time is captured in ShiftCare and exported to Pay Cat as a timesheet line.

Optional data points
Location / cost centre, dimensions
