What Import Hours Does

Import Hours lets payroll or HR upload hours from a file and use those hours in payroll. This is useful when hours come from another system, a spreadsheet, or a department file.

Practical Example

A department sends a file with employee IDs, dates, hour types, and hours worked. Payroll imports the file, reviews the preview, fixes unmatched employees, and creates payroll items from the approved hours.

Basic Steps

  1. Prepare the hours file.
  2. Open the hours import screen.
  3. Select or map the import template.
  4. Upload the file.
  5. Preview the hours.
  6. Fix errors.
  7. Import hours.
  8. Create payroll items.
  9. Run Draft Review.

Common Mistakes

  • Importing hours for the wrong period.
  • Missing employee IDs.
  • Importing the same hours twice.
  • Creating payroll items before correcting import errors.
