The CSV file will need a little massaging to account for your specific ADP setup. Attempting to upload it without correcting Hours Codes or failing to delete unused/unneeded columns will cause ADP's import system to throw errors.

1. Note your three-character ADP Company Code and Hours and Earnings Codes. These can be found by clicking on Tools -> Validation Tables -> Hours and Earnings Codes.

2. Find your exported CSV file and rename it is as:

Format: EPI[Your Company Code]##.csv

Example: EPI6KM01.csv

Any two digits are fine.

2. Open the file

3. Editing steps

  • Enter your company code in column 1 and copy/paste for all rows

  • Create a Batch ID number. This can be any 6 digit number (like a date)

  • Verify your File # (Position ID/Employee ID) is correct, then delete the Name column.

  • Delete Tax Frequency, Temp Dept, and Temp Rate columns

  • Unless you are an Amazon Courier, delete what are now columns I and J ("Paid-Not Worked" and corresponding values)

  • Replace the Worksana exported Adjustment Activity names with their ADP Hours and Earnings Codes

  • If you have paid meals, paste the value into an available Hours 3 or Hours 4 Amount Column. Enter the correct ADP Hours and Earnings code into the corresponding Hours 3 or Hours 4 Code Column

  • Delete any unused columns

4. Upload the file into ADP Workforce Now. Click on Process -> Payroll -> Start New Cycle. Scroll down and look for Add Paydata Batch. Now click on Import from File and follow the prompts to complete your payroll.
