To open the Time Import, select the Import Time option from the Time Entry menu item.

  1. Payroll Calendar.  Select the Payroll Calendar to receive the time import data.
  2. Check Code.  Select a Check Code.
  3. User Group Code.  Identify the batch by typing up to three characters. Optionally, enter a different three-character user group each time that you import time for a specific payroll.
  4. Create Default Shift Pay?  Select the checkbox to create shift pay differentials to allow any shift pay to be paid and to allow the shift records to be created. If you don't select "Create Default Shift Pay Differentials", employees shift records aren't added to the regular pay, which could result in incorrect compensation.
  5. Create Minimum Wage Makeup?  Min. Wage Earning Code.  To allow minimum wage calculations, select the Create Minimum Wage Makeup checkbox, and select the earning code for any makeup minimum-wage payments in the field labeled "Min. Wage Earning Code."
  6. Min. Wage Overtime Code.  For time import files that include restaurant employees who earn tips and have an hourly rate less than minimum wage, also select the earning for minimum wage overtime. When a row of earnings in the time file is for a pay code mapped to the selected earning code for minimum wage overtime, the hourly rate for this earning is adjusted by the overtime makeup calculation. See Overtime for Tipped Employees.
  7. Delete Previous Time Upload Data?  To delete the previous batch of time uploaded for the selected payroll calendar and the associated batch details, select the checkbox to"Delete Previous Time Upload Data."
  8. File to Upload.  Browse for and select the file to import.
  9. Import Time File.  Click on the Import Time File button to import the time records from the file.

CAUTION!  Only click on the Import Time File button once for this Import File. If you click on the Import Time File button again, the time contained in the file will be imported twice, and all of the time entry records will be duplicated.

To Remove Duplicates

If you import the file twice, go to the detailed Payroll Entry Spreadsheet for this Payroll Calendar, employee-by-employee, select the row with the duplicate, and click on the button to delete the duplicate.
