If employees have time clock punches from a third party time clock (including any pieces if your company uses Piecework Pay), you can import the information into ExponentHR from a text file and automatically populate the Time Clock. The import fileimport file can be a CSV, tab-delimited, or text-delimited file.
First, you must upload the file, and then you can select which time punch entries to import.
Notes:
Before you can import the file, you must set up a template that defines the data in the import file. See Related Help Topics below for more information.
You can use the same file with many different import templates. During import, the system ignores non-applicable (or empty) rows in the import file allowing you to use a single file for all import types (time punches, paid leave, piecework items, etc.).
