Where Your Files Go When You Upload Them to Claude
Uploading a file to Claude is a storage question, not a training one: where it sits, who can open it, how it leaves, and the setup choice that matters.
ReadThe Paylocity connector lets Claude read employee and payroll data from Paylocity, so HR and finance can answer routine questions about headcount, hours and pay without running a report and cleaning it up first.
HR and finance teams at companies that run payroll in Paylocity, where the same headcount and labor-cost questions get asked every week.
Payroll data is sensitive, so this is the first thing we settle with you. Paylocity's API gives the connector one credential for your company rather than one per person, so a person's own Paylocity permissions don't carry over to Claude.
We set the limits in the connector instead: who can connect at all, and which data each group reaches, for example headcount and hours for managers and pay for the payroll team. Connect only people who already have that access in Paylocity.
Not with your company's data out of the box. This custom connector does it: Shannon Advisory built it, hosts it, and sets it up in your Claude workspace with you.
Paylocity publishes the Integration Assistant MCP, which gives developers' coding tools access to Paylocity's API documentation. It doesn't reach employee or payroll data. This connector does.
Only the people you approve, and only the data their group is set to reach. Paylocity's API gives one credential per company, so the limits are set in the connector, and you choose them with us before anyone connects.
Claude's Team and Enterprise plans, where an Owner adds it once for the organization and each person connects, and Pro and Max, where you add it yourself. It works wherever you use Claude, including the desktop app.
No. The connector is read-only. Claude can look up and total employee, pay and time data, but it can't edit records, run payroll or change pay.
