Paycom

Overview

Payroll is one of the largest recurring entries in the ledger and one of the most tedious to post. Without a connection, every pay run means rekeying earnings, employee deductions, employer contributions and taxes into the general ledger by hand, then reconciling what does not tie out.

‌

DualEntry connects to Paycom through its payroll-data provider, which handles authentication on your behalf, and data flows one way: Paycom to DualEntry. The first sync deliberately retrieves metadata only — companies, payroll vendor, pay statement items and departments — so mappings can be completed before anything hits the ledger. Once the required mappings are in place, pay statements sync and journal entries post per payment and company, dated from the payment's pay date.

‌

The result is a consolidated entry rather than one per employee, with pay statement item categories landing in the debit and credit accounts you mapped. Per-employee detail stays available on the underlying pay statement records; it simply is not posted individually. Nobody on the finance team retypes a pay run again.

Key Features

1. Consolidated journal entries
   All employees' pay statements consolidate into a single entry per payment and company, rather than creating individual entries per employee.
2. One-way, authenticated sync
   Data flows one way, Paycom to DualEntry, through DualEntry's payroll-data provider, which handles authentication on your behalf.
3. Metadata-first initial sync
   The first sync retrieves only companies, vendor details, pay items and departments, so you can finish mapping before any journal entry posts.
4. Category-level account mapping
   Earnings, employee deductions, employer contributions and taxes each map to debit and credit accounts, with two integration-level defaults set by DualEntry: the earnings credit account and the employee contributions debit account.
5. Consolidate payroll tax toggle
   Group tax items by GL account (on by default) or show one line per tax item. The setting does not change which records are pulled from Paycom.
6. Optional department mapping
   Map Paycom departments to DualEntry departments, matched by exact name.
