Timekeeping files are used to keep track of a worker's completed hours for features such as Earned Wage Access (a.k.a., EWA), or advances. There are several ways in which these files can be sent to Branch.
- Using one of our built-in integrations
- Sending files to a custom email
- Note: This method is most common, as most payroll and time and attendance systems support scheduled reports via email.
- Via an established Branch SFTP
- Manually importing files in Pay Admin using the instructions below:
- Under Organization → click on Timekeeping.
- Click on Import Timekeeping on the right side of the screen.
- Upload a CSV file that includes a row for each worker's ID, Punch In, and Punch Out records.
- You can click on Download our template to get started with a new file template, or use the provided example when formatting your own file.
