Steps
Authenticate to Merge with a linked-account token for the target HRIS integration
GET /hris/v1/employees with expand=employments to retrieve each employee's current employment record including job title, department, and pay fields
Parse the pay_rate, pay_period, and pay_currency fields from the employment object and annualize hourly or periodic rates to a standard annual basis
GET /hris/v1/pay-groups if available for the integration to obtain pay group assignments that correlate to compensation bands
Store the normalized compensation data with a snapshot timestamp so band-compliance reporting can track changes over time
Known gotchas
Merge does not expose a dedicated compensation grade or band object; band data must be inferred from job profile or pay group fields which are provider-dependent
Pay rate fields may be null for salaried-exempt employees in some HRIS providers that store compensation separately from the employment record
Currency normalization is the caller's responsibility; Merge returns the pay_currency code but does not convert amounts to a base currency
