Frequently Asked Questions
Worker Sync
Do I need to configure field mapping myself?
Usually no. The native integration comes pre-filled and ready to use. However, if you have custom needs, you can always update the mapping. We still recommend reviewing it during setup and taking action if necessary.
Can I choose which workers are included in Worker Sync?
Yes. Only workers with the Remotepass Employment Type field filled in BambooHR (e.g., Contractor, DE, or EOR) will be imported into RemotePass.
What if I disable the integration?
Turning off Worker Sync stops future updates but does not remove past synced amendment entries. Workers in the Imported Workers list (not yet converted to contracts) will be deleted, while any contracts you’ve already created will remain. Fully disconnecting BambooHR halts all integration features.
Time-off Sync
Can I sync only certain leave types (e.g., Vacation but not Sick Leave)?
Yes. During setup, you can map only the leave types you want to sync from BambooHR to RemotePass.
Do I need to align all leave policies before enabling the sync?
Yes. To avoid errors, ensure your leave policies, accrual rules, carryovers, and public holiday calendars match between BambooHR and RemotePass before starting the integration.
What if I disable the integration?
Turning off the time-off sync stops future updates, but does not remove past synced entries. Fully disconnecting BambooHR halts all integration features.
What if a worker edits or cancels the time-off request on BambooHR?
It would be automatically updated to RemotePass as edited or canceled.
