Import Payroll Hours to Employee - Paycor Data Target
Overview
DataBlend supports importing payroll hours at the employee level in Paycor using the Import Payroll Hours to Employee data target action. This action submits time card entries per employee, grouping rows that share the same EmployeeId and ProcessId into a single request with one time card entry per row.
