Introduction

This topic describes how to request the Excel Input Form (EIF)

What is the EIF?

An Excel Input Form or EIF is a downloadable and up to date file sent through to your payroll consultant once your payroll is ready to be processed.

The up to date file is specifically tailored to your company. Whilst there is an overall format, the pay code descriptions, order and appearance is flexible to your requirements.

The EIF gives us the information that we require to process your payroll hours accurately.

Using the EIF also removes elements of Human Error. It enables us to upload the data straight from you into our compliant system and reduce the risk of errors.

How to request the EIF?

Before requesting the EIF, you should:

1. Add any new employees to the system
2. Ensure that any Approved Leave Applications have been transfered to payroll
3. Ensure that any Approved Expense Reimbursements have been transfered to payroll
4. Ensure that any interpreted timesheets have been been transferred to payroll

To request the EIF:

1. Go to the Payroll -> Input Form screen
2. Select the payroll that you want the EIF to be generated for from the Payroll drop down list
3. Click the Request button to request the EIF
4. The EIF file will be emailed to you.
