Time Import Files
Overview
Loading employee pay records from external time-keeping
systems into pay entry can be easily accomplished by creating and importing
a fixed-length ASCII time file. The time import tool processes the formatted
ASCII time file information and uploads this data to pay entry for a payroll.
A time file needs to meet the following specifications.
- The ASCII file must contain fixed-length
data elements where no delimiter characters separate record information.
- To import time via the web-product,
the file extension of the ASCII file must be .txt.
- The time import file may be named
however you choose where the file name is less than 28 characters. We
recommend that you use a familiar naming convention to avoid importing
incorrect client time files.
- The ASCII time file must have
employee information and needs to be formatted and structured according to the
Modified ASCII Time Import File Structure file specification.
