Run the payroll export

Produce the payroll file for a month that has been signed off, so the figures can be handed to your payroll system.

Before you start​

  • You need the Run payroll permission. Being able to manage payroll months does not by itself let you run the export; that is a separate permission.
  • Timekeeper is a licensed add-on. If your organisation does not use it, you will not see these screens.
  • The month must have had the final payroll sign-off first. See Approval and payroll sign-off.

Steps​

  1. Open the Timekeeper module, then Payroll export.
  2. Choose a month that has been signed off. Only signed-off months can be exported.
  3. Select Preview to check the figures. The preview shows what the file will contain without saving anything, so you can spot a problem before you generate.
  4. When the preview looks right, select Export Variable Cost Months. Markular produces the export files in the payroll format your organisation uses.
  5. Download the files and pass them to your payroll system.
  6. To fetch an earlier export again, open the Export History tab and download it from the list. Previous exports are kept, scoped to your payroll country, so you can download them a second time without regenerating.

The Payroll Export screen on the Create Export tab: filters for month, year, country, type and business unit above the Preview and Export Variable Cost Months actions, with the payroll-approved months listed below ready to export.

The Export History tab lists the files you have already generated, each with when it was created and by whom, and a Download action.

The Export History tab of the Payroll Export screen, listing a previously generated payroll export file with its file name, creation date, creator and a Download action.
