WorkflowMax can create an export file containing the total hours your employees worked for a given period. You can then import this file into a payroll system, thus saving time and increasing accuracy of transfer.
Regional differences
Due to differences in the way that payroll is processed in New Zealand, Australia and other countries, please note:
- For NZ users who have a Xero connection, the payroll export will go to ipayroll, if it is enabled.
- For Australian users who have a Xero connection, the payroll export option will export to their Xero payroll, if it is enabled. The user must have the Xero payroll privilege enabled in their Xero account and within their Xero organisation.
- For users in all other countries (and Australian or NZ users who do not have Xero payroll or ipayroll enabled), the payroll export produces a text-file output that includes total time and staff codes for the selected period.
