(Included in the paydata file only if you selected the Suppress Rate 1 check box)

Tax Frequency Character (1) If you specified a Tax Frequency for the account or pay type in the Manage ADP 2.5 Mapping Values screen, that tax frequency code is used. Otherwise, the field is not populated.

Timesheets from the Timesheet Line table are selected if the date falls within the chosen range, and if (a) the employee is flagged with the timesheet cycle in the Employee Basic table, and (b) the Payroll Processed flag is set to N (No).

For each timesheet row selected, the program assigns the ADP field IDs, codes, and pay number and inserts the row into the ADP Paydata table.

The application checks to see whether the account on the timesheet line is found in the ADP Mappings table and, if a match is found, the associated field IDs and codes are assigned and the pay number is set to 1. If no match is found for the account, the application checks to see whether the pay type on the timesheet line is found in the ADP Mapping table and, if a match is found, the associated field IDs and codes are assigned. If the pay type is a bonus pay type, the pay number is set to 2. Otherwise, the pay number is set to 1. If no match is found, the record is written to the Error table and an error message is written to the Error Report.

If the employee is salaried and you selected the Autopay check box, the timesheet line is mapped to regular hours or earnings (field IDs 12 or 14) and is not included in the external paydata file. However, if the timesheet line maps to one of the other hours or earnings fields (such overtime or vacation), it is included in the external paydata file. Field types that map to a bonus pay type are included regardless of the Autopay check box.

Cost-only pay type records (timesheet rows with hours equal to zero and labor cost not equal to zero) send earnings only to ADP.

After the ADP Paydata Table is created, the application uses it to generate the external paydata File. The file is created in the location you selected in the File Information group box. If you selected 1 in the ADP Version drop-down list, the application generates three record types in the external paydata File for each batch: a header record, paydata records, and one or two trailer records. If you selected 2.5 in the ADP Version drop-down list, the application generates two record types in the external paydata File for each batch: a header record and paydata records.

The application generates one or more logical paydata records for each check an employee receives. Timesheet records are rolled up for each employee, field ID, user code, and shift code change. Correcting timesheets are included with regular timesheets to prevent ADP from printing a separate check for the correcting timesheet. Labor-only timesheets are not included in the paydata file.
