3. Click Accept
4. Click Yes when prompted with "Is this a new Job?"
5. For Description, enter a brief description of the import job if desired (optional)

   • To determine required fields, refer to the attached document "How to determine required fields for Legacy import jobs"
10. Some fields may not be in the Import File, so they may either need to be calculated, assigned or file assigned. For example, EARNING_TYPE can be file assigned to the field TYPE_OF_EARNING from the file PR.EARN
11. RATE for hourly employees may use the following calculation:
    • {PR.EMPL:PAY_RATE1}*{PR.EARN:PAY_RATE_MULTIP}
12. RATE for salary employees may use the following calculation if salary is stored in the Pay Rate 1 field:
    • PRC(PR.EMPL:PAY_RATE1}/80,3)
13. If importing for both Salary and Hourly Employees, then a condition will be needed for the 2 different Rate fields:
    • For Hourly Employees, use the condition {PR.EMPL:PAY_METHOD}="H"
    • For Salary Employees, use the condition {PR.EMPL:PAY_METHOD}="S"
14. AMOUNT can have the following calculation:
    • PRC({PR.DATAENT:RATE}*{PR.DATAENT:HOURS_RECPT_AMT},2)
15. Select the Records tab and define the type of records that are being imported
16. • Line Type E for Earning records
