How to Export Payroll
Send a finalized pay period's hours to your connected payroll provider (or export them as a file).
Before you start
- Manage Timecards right, and the pay period must be Finalized (see How to Manage the Pay Calendar) before it can be committed — you can still preview it earlier.
Steps
- In the nav bar, click Human Resources → Attendance tab → Payroll export sub-tab.
- Choose the Pay period and the Provider (your connected provider, or Generic CSV / a named provider like ADP, Paychex, Gusto, Paylocity, UKG, or QuickBooks).
- Click Preview (dry run) first. This produces exactly the numbers the committed file will contain — employees, total hours, and an hours-by-earning-code breakdown — without committing anything, so you can compare against the prior period before anyone is paid.
- Once you're satisfied and the period is Finalized, click Commit to payroll. Confirm in the dialog.
What you'll see
A committed batch is shown with its checksum and can be downloaded. A period can be committed exactly once — the server enforces this, so a second commit attempt is refused rather than double-paying everyone. If a committed batch turns out to be wrong, don't try to re-export — click Reverse on that batch instead, give a reason, and confirm; the original batch is left untouched and a new reversal batch with negative totals is created that nets against it, so both remain on the record.
