Integration

How it works

BambooHR serves as the central hub for employee profile information. This data (department, position, benefit plan, etc) is automatically synced with PGi at regularly scheduled intervals (up to multiple times a day). When a new employee is hired, their relevant HR details are imported into PGi. Additionally, any updates made to existing employee data in BambooHR are reflected in PGi, ensuring both systems stay in sync.

Steps To Install

  1. Work with a PGi Implementations Specialist to create mappings between the BambooHR and PGi fields as required
  2. Determine frequency of the syncing process
