Step 1: Select export type

In this step you choose the type of payroll cycle for which you want to generate the payroll export file. Select the appropriate option:

  • On Cycle Export Type: Select Export Pay Period(s) to Payroll System 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 for an on-cycle export.
  • Off Cycle Export Types: Select one of the off cycles options 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 are available:
    • 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 who must be paid retroactive adjustments.
