Frequently asked questions
- Do I need an API key to connect BambooHR with Deputy?
No. You simply enter your BambooHR subdomain in Deputy and sign in with your BambooHR Owner account to authorise the connection.
- How do leave requests and leave balances sync between the two platforms?
Leave balances sync periodically from BambooHR into Deputy to display on shift rosters. For leave requests, approved leave in Deputy creates a BambooHR time-off request, and later changes to that request replace it (superseding the old request). Note that leave requests created directly in BambooHR do not sync into Deputy.
- How does Deputy match existing employee records in BambooHR?
Deputy matches records using the email field option you select during setup: Work email, Personal email, or 'Best email' (which checks Work email first, with Personal email as a fallback). Deputy stores the BambooHR ID as the Payroll ID in Deputy.
- Does Deputy export payroll timesheets directly to BambooHR in Australia?
In Australia, timesheet hours exported to BambooHR are used to update "per hour worked" leave accrual policies. For running payroll, Australian teams export timesheet hours directly from Deputy to their Australian payroll provider (such as Xero, MYOB, or Employment Hero). Timesheet hours are exported manually from Export Timesheets; leave timesheets cannot be exported to BambooHR.
- How do locations and departments map between BambooHR and Deputy?
During setup, you choose whether BambooHR locations, departments, or divisions represent your Deputy Locations, and then map each value individually. Deputy Locations must be created in Deputy before mapping.
- What happens in Deputy when an employee is terminated in BambooHR?
Terminating an employee in BambooHR does not automatically archive or delete their profile in Deputy. This protects past shift histories and timesheet records for auditing. Managers can manually archive profiles in Deputy once final pay runs are completed.
