Payroll Integrator

These instructions will provide information on the available Interface program for Payroll Vendors. It will also create a file to export to the payroll database for importing the non-attendance records for your employees preventing the need for a second person to keypunch the non-attendance records into the payroll database.

Only a District Administrator has permission to edit the settings necessary for using this interface.

For the District Administrator: Before posting staff attendance records, the administrative steps below should be done.

1. Permission Configuration:
   • In User Management edit the permissions for the person that will control the Staff Attendance District Defaults.
   • Give this person RW permissions for the category Staff; then, a RW Program permission for Post Transactions; then an Action permission for Set District Defaults of Insert/Update/Delete.
2. There are two District settings that need to be edited before transactions can be posted.
   • Set District Defaults in the Employee Attendance Posting program, click the Action button and select Set District Defaults to set items such as Vendor, default attendance code, and pay periods.
   • Edit Attendance Codes is done on the Options button at the bottom of the Post Attendance Setup Box. If your payroll vendor does not require a translation of absence reasons from the default list, the Options button will not be on the setup box.

   NOTE--At the bottom of these instructions there are several lists of codes: Default codes and Vendor specific codes. Print the list of default codes and vendor specific codes for your district payroll vendor and give to your payroll department. The Payroll department must identify the Vendor specific code for each of the Default codes. These translations must be entered on the Post Employee Transactions before posting transactions can be done.
