To use Import Time to process a certified (hours-by-day) payroll, note the following:

• The time entry view you use with Import Time must include the Date column
• Each earnings record in the Import file must include a valid date entry. For employees with a weekly pay period, a valid date is defined as a date that falls within the seven day period preceding the period end date specified for the import. For employees with a bi-weekly pad period, a valid date is defined as a date that falls within the fourteen day period preceding the period end date specified for the import.
• If you are tracking labor hours on a daily basis in Job Cost, you must make separate entries for the regular and overtime hours for each job for each day as you enter earnings information. Depending on the earnings information you are entering for an employee, you might produce several records per employee in the Import file.
• If Payroll daily entry control - certified job has been marked on Job record in Job Cost, when earnings are process in Payroll, daily distribution records are created for earnings and the certified? check box is marked
• The Certified report can be used after earnings are successfully imported and Process Checks is used to process the earnings information.

NOTE: The certified class will prefill from the employee record unless it is included in the import time file. It will then pull the rate if the certified class field is ahead of the fields for pay id, units, rate, amount in the import time entry view.
