Tilt and Paycor Team Up to Deliver Precision and Ease to Leave of Absence Processes

Tilt & Paycor Blog Banner

HR teams have better things to do than battle clunky systems that struggle to do what they’re built for, and have an even harder time working together.

When it comes to moments that matter to employees, like taking a leave of absence, your tech should work with you, not against you.

That’s why we’ve expanded our partnership with Paycor, a Paychex company, by developing a purpose-built, API-based integration designed to make managing leaves of absence more efficient, more accurate, and significantly less stressful for everyone involved in this complex and undeniably human experience.

The bottom line? Fewer headaches, increased compliance confidence, and more time to focus on the people, not the paperwork.

Why a Seamless Leave Experience Matters

When systems don’t talk to each other, things get messy.

Errors sneak in, time gets wasted, and HR ends up buried in avoidable admin. This integration was built to change that by cutting out manual handoffs, reducing mistakes, and giving HR the breathing room to focus on what really matters: supporting people through life’s big moments.

  • Here’s what the Tilt and Paycor integration helps you do:
  • Save time with regular, automatic syncing of essential employee data
  • Ensure accuracy in payroll and compliance-related decisions
    Streamline pay processes by connecting pay schedules and history
  • Maintain control, with visibility into synced data and the ability to manage integration settings as needed

“We built this integration with one clear goal: to make life easier for HR teams and the employees they support,” says Jeff Okita, Tilt’s VP of Product. “Every detail, from the automated data sync to the seamless user experience, was designed to take the stress out of leave management.”

Unlike solutions that rely on third-party connectors,” adds Jeff, “This integration was built entirely by Tilt, ensuring tighter security, better reliability, and full alignment with the way our platform works. HR doesn’t need more tools that complicate their workflows. They need smart, secure solutions that actually work. That’s what this integration delivers.

A Match Made in Integration Heaven

Tilt is leading the charge in modern leave management solutions, while Paycor is a longstanding leader in the realm of human capital and payroll solutions.

Together, we’re blending the best of both worlds: an intelligent leave platform powered by your most current employee data.

It’s the automated and streamlined solution HR teams deserve and, quite frankly, need in order to thrive in the modern workforce landscape.

What’s in it for HR leaders?

  • Seamless transfer of employee data from Paycor into Tilt
  • Simplified setup and low lift for IT teams
  • Automated workflows that keep data flowing consistently and accurately
  • HR and employee experiences that feel effortless (because they are)

“At Paycor, we’re committed to giving our customers tools that simplify complex processes and improve the employee experience. Leave of absence is one of the most critical moments in that journey. That’s why having Tilt as an integration partner in leave management is so important. Their platform doesn’t just track leave; it transforms how HR teams support employees during life’s most pivotal moments. With Tilt, our customers gain a reliable, scalable solution that ensures compliance, automates pay accuracy, and delivers the human support today’s workforce expects.”

Your Streamlined Leave Process, Powered by Paycor Data

This integration takes the heavy lifting out of leave management by automatically syncing key employee information such as demographic data, pay schedules, and up to 18 months of pay history from Paycor into Tilt’s leave management platform.

And because it’s a true API integration, not a workaround through a third-party connector, you can count on greater data accuracy, tighter security, and less risk. No duct tape. No patch jobs. Just a secure, direct line between the systems you rely on.

It’s all the real-time data you need to power a consistent, compliant leave journey every time without the data wrangling or the worry.

What It Means for HR Teams

Starting a new leave request shouldn’t feel like assembling a puzzle where none of the pieces fit quite right. With Tilt and Paycor working together, HR teams get a head start on painting the full leave picture as leave surveys are automatically pre-filled with key info pulled straight from Paycor.

That means less manual entry, fewer errors, and way more time back in your day.

Even better:

  • Employee eligibility and demographic data are regularly synced
  • Tilt’s Leave Success Managers are proactively informed of any updates that could impact a leave
  • HR teams still maintain full control with override options for edge cases (like acquisitions or less than 12 months of Paycor history)

You get the power of automation with the flexibility you need.

What It Means for Employees

Taking a leave of absence is stressful enough for employees.

Riffling through paperwork and guessing what their pay will be shouldn’t be part of the equation. With the Tilt and Paycor integration, employees get a pre-filled leave survey with their info already in place right out of the gate.

And if something changes along the way (like a promotion or a cross-country move) Tilt updates automatically, keeping everything aligned for smooth payroll and compliance handling.
