Step 1: Choose export cycle

This step lets you choose the type of payroll cycle for which you want to generate the payroll export file. Select these options by clicking the appropriate option:

  • On Cycle Export Type: Choose this option to generate a regular payroll export file that uses data from default pay periods and pay groups. The on-cycle export is used for groups of employees that belong to the same pay groups and pay periods. See Selecting pay groups to export for an on-cycle export.
  • Off Cycle Export Types: Choose this option if you want to generate a payroll export file that contains on-demand employee payroll information. An off-cycle export is usually used to pay individual employees on-demand in case of an employee termination or retroactive pay adjustments. These off-cycle export options become active when you choose the Off Cycle Export Types option:
    • Pay Terminated Employees Now: Choose this option to generate a payroll export file for pay owed to terminated employees.
    • Pay Employee Retroactive Adjustments Now: Choose this option to generate a payroll export file for pay owed to employees that require to be paid retroactive adjustments.
