Import a Payroll File

Do not import pay records with incomplete information or if the pay component is not valid for the employee. If one pay entry item fails, the entire check fails.

  1. Click Browse Files to select files to import.

    Only one file can be imported at a time. Files are scanned or processed one at a time. A maximum of one file for the Payroll Import function with the status of Ready to Process is saved on the Paychex server at any time.

  2. When the file status displays as Ready to process, click Process. The selected file processes and imports.

  3. After the file processes, review the File Status.

  4. The Errors and Warnings icon Warning.jpg displays when a file has a status of Completed with Errors and Warnings. Click Warning.jpg to display a list of errors and warnings for the selected SEDI file.

    If the SPI file import process succeeds without warnings or errors, a Completed message displays.

    You can import more than one file per pay period. However, each file must be processed before the next file can be imported.

  5. An Errors and Warnings Report generates each time an import runs and error/warnings occur.

Review the SPI with Manual Checks and Check Template Specification Sheet for specific field information.

The order of the field names listed in the specification sheet is in the order the columns should display in the import file.
