CAT Data Integration
CAT Data Integration
To better assist our users who would benefit from a “live” connection, PlanUW will run an integration with the Compensation Administration Tool (CAT) three times a day which has an average load time of 2-3 minutes.
Integration Times:
- 3:00AM
- 10:00AM
- 2:00PM
In the event you happen to be working in CAT and click “save” as the integration is in the process of running your work will be picked up in the next integration cycle.
