Payroll Export

Download time records as a CSV file. Import into your payroll system.

Exporting Time Records

  1. Go to Reports in the sidebar
  2. Select the date range (pay period)
  3. Filter by employee if needed
  4. Click Export CSV

What's Included

The export contains:

  • Employee name
  • Date
  • Clock-in time
  • Clock-out time
  • Total hours
  • Whether entry was edited
  • GPS coordinates

Using the Export

This history download is a readable report. It is not a payroll import file, and most payroll systems will reject it.

To produce a file your payroll system can import, go to Time Clock, press Export, and choose Payroll import file. Two shapes are available:

  • Paychex Flex: an exact Standard Payroll Import file. Ask Paychex to enable Standard Payroll Import on your account first, then import it under Payroll Center, More Options, Import Payroll Data.
  • Every other provider, including isolved and Netchex: a simple file with one row per person per pay code. Send it to your payroll rep once and they will set up a matching import template.

Before either will work, each person needs their payroll ID entered in WashConsole, and your regular and overtime pay codes need to be set. Anyone missing a payroll ID is named on screen and left out of the file, so check that warning before you upload.

Do not open the file in Excel before importing. Excel removes leading zeros, which stops employee numbers like 00417 from matching.

Tips

  • Export on the same day every pay period
  • Review for anomalies before submitting
  • Keep exports for your records
  • Check the AI Coach for flagged entries first
