Summary

Use this command to import employee timeband overrides from a third party software package or from a file which meets the format criteria.

Pre-requisites

You can use this command only if:

• You have set up the following details on the Company Settings | T&A | Import Timebands tab:
  • Timeband data path - If this path is not specified, then PayGlobal uses the Company Data | Import folder.
  • Import Type
  • Import file - This field must contain the actual file name and extension of the file to be imported.
• The file that you want to import matches the Import Timebands settings.

Fields

Import Files:

The number of files that you want to import. Click the pick list button beside this field to specify which files to import.

For example, if Import Type=CSV, Import file=*.csv, and there are multiple CSV files in the specified folder, then you can select which files you want to import.

Detailed Log:

• Yes (default setting).

  Produces a detailed log.

• No

  Produces a summarised log.

Merge timebands:

Controls what PayGlobal will do with the timebands in this import file if timebands already exist.

• Yes (default setting).
  • If the timeband being imported overlaps an existing timeband, the timeband will not be imported.
  • If the timeband being imported does not overlap with an existing timeband, then PayGlobal imports the timeband. As a result, you may have multiple timebands for an employee for that day.
• No

  The imported timebands replace any existing timebands where the employee and date are the same.
