Direct HRIS connection (via Merge)
Connecting to your payroll provider directly
The ability to connect to your payroll provider is a premium data integration that is only available on a Causal Business plan.
Note: some payroll providers may create a third-party login/license when you connect via Merge.

You’re able to pull the data items listed below from your HRIS by default. These are broken down by Employee, and we'll also pull in mappings to Team/Location/Department etc for you.
Data item | Definition | Mapping to Variable in Detailed Headcount Template |
---|---|---|
Monthly Salary by Employee (time series) | Annual Salary by Employee (time series) / 12 | Salaries and Wages |
Annual Salary by Employee (time series) | Annual salary by employee, by month. Uses latest annual salary within each month, for historic months. | Adjusted Annual Salary |
Latest Annual Salary | Most recent salary entered in the HRIS. Includes future start date employees’ salary, as well as future raises of existing employees | Current Annual Salary |
Start Date | | |
End Date (if relevant) | | |
If you are on a Business plan we can also pull custom fields for you (e.g. Bonus %).
Some payroll integrations do not support all of Causal's features.
BambooHR does not support locations outside of the US.
Namely does not support historical employment data.
Personio does not pull in salary for future start date employees until they've started.
