Symmetry Payroll Point API FAQ
1. Why did Symmetry upgrade the legacy Payroll Point Web Service to the new API?
The new Payroll Point API provides additional functionality not available in the Web Service, including the following:
- Uses JSON instead of XML.
- Can pass in multiple work addresses for each employee within the same call versus only one.
- Supports endpoint versioning to avoid breaking changes when upgrading to leverage new functionality.
- Modern, more secure authentication using JSON Web Token (JWT) authorization.
- Expanded product offering for Minimum Wage that includes minimum wage rates by city, state, and county.
2. When did Symmetry launch the new Symmetry Payroll Point API?
The new and improved Symmetry Payroll Point API was launched on November 8th, 2021, via an email campaign which included a registration link to our webinar overview held on November 18th, 2021.
3. When and how were our new Symmetry Payroll Point API credentials shared with us?
In follow up to the email campaign noting the launch of the new Symmetry Payroll Point API, a member of Symmetry’s Client Success team sent an encrypted email to each legacy Web Service client’s dedicated administrators including the authorization URLs and keys for access to the new API.
