Training Tidbit: Importing Time Cards

Did you know there is an option to import time cards directly from an electronic time clock into the Time Cards data entry option in the School Accounting System?

The file from the electronic time clock just needs to be saved as one of the following file types: ASCII text, comma delimited, fixed length, spreadsheet, or tab delimited. Then be sure the file contains the Employee IDs (same IDs as are used in the Employee File), Pay Code IDs (same IDs as are defined in the Pay Code File), and Hours. Additional fields of information that can also be imported if included in the file (or specified at the time of import, if applicable) are: Week Ending, Day of Week, Time In, Time Out, Break Minutes to Subtract, and Overtime Hours.

For step-by-step instructions on importing time cards, refer to the topic “Time Cards: Importing” in the help file.
