Workbench Payroll Export

This module looks at the use of Payroll Export within Workbench.

Workbench has the ability to export timesheet transactions to a predefined .CSV file. The definition of this .CSV file is dependent on the ability of the Payroll system to import timesheet transactions and the structure of their requirements.

Flexibility from Workbench's point of view comes from:

• the Payroll Name signifying the different Payroll's being run eg. Weekly, Fortnightly
• the Activity Code, providing analysis for the type of timesheet transaction.

Every Payroll export needs to be custom as every Payroll system differs in their import structure and the Client requirements. This custom is in the form of changes to the Workbench Stored Procedure 'wbExportPayroll' which creates the .CSV file required to import into the payroll system.

The general workbench process for Payroll Export is:

• Enter Timesheets

• Approve Timesheets

• Batch Payroll for export. (Note that this is different than batching for the labour journal)

• Export Payroll batches
