Asynchronous Task

The Asynchronous Task is used to generate payroll export files for Payroll Close processes that are user-initiated, not automatically generated according to a regular schedule.

The Asynchronous Task is initiated through the Payroll Close Wizard when the user clicks Export Now. See Step 4: Review.

After Export Now is clicked, the Payroll Close Wizard places pay groups in a queue to be picked up by the Asynchronous Task. The Asynchronous Task reads the pay group parameters defined by the Payroll Close Wizard. By default, the Asynchronous Task is set to run every 30 minutes after Export Now is clicked.

After the Asynchronous Task is run, payroll export files are generated, the pay period dates are advanced to the next scheduled pay period, and an e-mail confirming the completion of the payroll export is sent to the supervisor or payroll administrator.
