01 · Employee Data Sync

How employee records move between Pay Cat and Visualcare.

API connection
Yes

Pay Cat and Visualcare exchange employee data via API using the KeyPay connection. A "Send data to KeyPay" button on the worker profile takes a snapshot and creates the employee in Pay Cat, then a separate "Sync employee from KeyPay" button pulls that newly created employee back into Visualcare. This is a once-off action, it does not auto-update if data is later changed on Pay Cat.

Data flow direction
Pay Cat ↔ Visualcare

Name and email are sent from Visualcare to Pay Cat when a worker profile is pushed across. Once the employee record is created in Pay Cat, it is synced back into Visualcare. Pay rate/classification, leave requests, and leave balances are not currently exchanged.

Data exchanged
✓ Name & email

Pay rate/classification, leave requests, and leave balances are not exchanged as part of this sync.

Sync trigger
Manual, triggered by user

Sync runs via two buttons on the worker profile in Visualcare: one sends the employee to Pay Cat, the other pulls the newly created employee back. This is a once-off action rather than an ongoing automatic sync.

Unique identifier
Employee ID

Visualcare selected "Other" for this field, specifying Employee ID as the identifier used to match staff records.

02 · Timesheets & Rostering

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

Timesheets via API
Yes
Spreadsheet export
Yes

Visualcare supports a spreadsheet export of timesheets. This export does not currently include the headers required for direct import into Pay Cat/Employment Hero Payroll, so some reformatting is needed. Kilometres driven appear on the same row as the shift, rather than as a separate row.

Work type / service mapping
Yes

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

Sleepover shifts
Active time overlaps sleepover

Active time has defined start and end times that overlap the sleepover period.

Travel time
Recorded & exported

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

Optional data points
Location / cost centre

No additional notes were provided for this section.
