Importa-Pay

Importa-Pay

This extra option to Lewis PAY-PACK , lets you import payroll information from other sources.

The most common case will be reading information prepared with a computerised time-recording system. However the information could have been prepared on a spreadsheet or by a specialised program.

IMPORTA-PAY will read the data of hours worked from the ASCII data file, and translate it into PAY-PACK, as though the hours had been entered in PAY-PACK’s screen of Hours Worked This Pay. IMPORTA-PAY will also read in piece rates, and allowances that have formula Rate per Unit.

Custom-Made Software Pty Ltd will make available the exact layout of the ASCII data file for IMPORTA-PAY.

It is necessary to match information of employees, hourly rates and allowances between PAY-PACK and the other system. In PAY-PACK you can choose which keys you wish to match on, and the order of matching. Some of the possibilities you could choose for matching employees are:

Employee Surname. If surnames are equal the matching is done by First Names.
Employee Number.

PAY-PACK can also export data in IMPORTA-PAY format. This is useful for testing, and for getting precise details of new employees.
