Payroll export

Export time cards to Paychex

Paychex imports hours through its standard payroll import. 9forty5 writes that layout directly, so the approved period goes from time cards to Paychex without a spreadsheet in between.

How it works

01

Approve the pay period

Managers review and approve time cards. Only an approved period can be exported, so the file always matches what was signed off.

02

Choose Paychex

Set Paychex as the company's payroll provider once, under Settings. Employee payroll IDs are mapped there too and remembered.

03

Download the file

Open Payroll Export, pick the period, and download. Regular, overtime, double time, holiday and paid time off are already split.

04

Import into Paychex

Upload the file in Paychex's hours import. Nothing is re-keyed, and a correction is a reopen in 9forty5 followed by a fresh download.

What is in the file

  • Paychex standard payroll import (SPI) layout
  • Client and worker IDs mapped once in 9forty5
  • Regular, overtime and double time hours by earnings code
  • Paid time off hours by type

What 9forty5 does before the file exists

  • Bands regular, overtime and double time as the day is worked, under the site's state rules
  • Records meal and rest breaks as punches, paid or unpaid
  • Adds approved time off and paid holidays as their own lines
  • Locks the period on approval so the export matches what was signed

Frequently asked

Yes. The export uses the Paychex standard payroll import layout that Paychex Flex accepts for hours.

No. You import the file 9forty5 produces after the pay period is approved.

Reopen the period in 9forty5, correct it, approve again and download a fresh file.
