Paycor + Nectar Integration

Sync employee data from Paycor into Nectar automatically to streamline recognition, rewards, and engagement programs.

Keep your employee information aligned across payroll, HR, and culture — without manual uploads or spreadsheet management.

Overview

The Paycor + Nectar integration connects your HR and payroll system directly to Nectar, ensuring accurate employee data powers your recognition and rewards programs.

This integration is ideal for:

• HR teams using Paycor as their system of record
• Mid-sized organizations managing workforce growth
• People Ops teams looking to reduce manual admin work

By integrating Paycor with Nectar, companies can automatically provision new hires, maintain accurate org structure, and streamline offboarding — all without manual file uploads.

How It Works

Nectar integrates with Paycor to sync core employee information into the platform.

What data syncs

Common employee fields include:

• First and last name
• Work email
• Department
• Job title
• Manager relationships
• Location
• Employment status (active/inactive)

Sync behavior

• Employees added in Paycor can be automatically provisioned in Nectar
• Updates to roles, departments, or managers sync to maintain accurate reporting
• Terminated employees can be automatically deactivated in Nectar

Authentication method

The integration connects securely via API-based authentication with authorized admin credentials.

Where users interact

Admins configure and manage the integration within Nectar’s settings. Employees use Nectar as usual — recognizing peers, redeeming rewards, and participating in engagement initiatives — powered by synced HR data behind the scenes.

What our customers are saying

"Before Nectar, our turnover rate was around 25%. Now it’s less than 7%, which has made a huge difference for us in keeping our team together.”

Kelly Hayes

Director of Human Resources

"Before Nectar, our wellness program participation was just over 35%. Now, we’re seeing participation rates close to 80%, which has been a game-changer for employee engagement."

Lorelei N.

Community Engagement Director

"We used to spend up to two days each month manually recognizing employees for birthdays and anniversaries. Now, Nectar handles all of that automatically, which has been a huge time-saver."

Hannah R.

Senior HR Director

"One of our team members said, ‘It’s the little things like getting recognized that make me feel like I’m not just a number, even when I’m working remotely.’"

Zach C.

Marketing Manager

"Even with everyone working from home, it felt like we were all still part of the same team when we saw those shout-outs come through."

Robin C.

People and Culture Manager

"I credit Nectar with keeping our engagement from taking a huge hit during challenges that the business has faced. Like many companies, we went through a huge cost saving exercise over the last 6 months... but I will tell you it was NEVER an option for leadership to consider canceling or changing the Nectar contract. It's too important to who we are."
