This integration helps you easily manage employee time-off by automatically syncing approved leave requests from BambooHR directly into RemotePass.

How It Works

  • Automatic Sync: When an employee’s time-off request is approved in BambooHR, it quickly (within minutes) syncs over to RemotePass.

  • Future Requests Only: Only upcoming, approved requests are synced, keeping your payroll and leave records accurate.

  • Updates & Changes: If leave requests are modified or canceled in BambooHR, RemotePass will automatically reflect these changes.

  • Historical Data Protection: Previous leave records remain unchanged, avoiding any confusion or extra work.

Who’s Included?

  • You can choose which contract types are included in the sync (such as EOR, DE, Fixed, PAYG, Milestone).

  • After enabling the sync, employees should request time-off exclusively through BambooHR. (Neither you, nor the workers can create time-off request on RemotePass)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What happens to leave entered in RemotePass before integration?
A: Historical leave records are unaffected. Only future approved requests from BambooHR are synced.

Q: Can employees still request time-off directly in RemotePass?
A: No. Once enabled, employees must use BambooHR to request leave. RemotePass remains the reporting system only. For the workers that are not being synced, time-off process will remain the same on RemotePass.

Q: What else can I do in RemotePass if the BambooHR is connected?
Except the time off requests processing, you can still:

  • Adjust leave balances as needed.

  • Create and manage your company's specific time-off policies.

  • Assign or modify time-off policies for individual employees.
