Payroll Settings Overview
The Payroll Settings section allows you to preconfigure the default options required for exporting timesheet data to your payroll software. These settings ensure your payroll export is formatted correctly and includes all necessary data.
How to select a Payroll Export Type
Most options in the payroll export dropdown are custom formats developed specifically for individual customers or payroll providers. You can select your default payroll type under:
- Click System Settings
- Click Payroll Settings
- Update the required fields
- Click SAVE
Please note: only one default payroll export type can be active at a time.
Exporting Payroll Data
You can choose how payroll data is sent:
- Daily Totals
Sends the total calculations from each day’s timesheet. This is the default used method. - Pay Period Totals
Required if your department uses pay period overtime rules. This option aggregates totals across the entire pay period.
Exporting Cost Centres / Job Codes
If your payroll provider requires cost centre or job code data, you can enable this option in Payroll Settings. When enabled, cost centre information will be included in the export file.
Note: Only some payroll types support cost centre exports.

PaySync Integration
When PaySync is selected as your default payroll type, additional API-related settings become available. PaySync enables direct integration with supported payroll platforms, offering features beyond standard file exports.
Key Features:
Leave Balance Refresh
Enable this to pull leave balances from your payroll provider.⏱ Recommended: Schedule this to run the day after payroll is processed.
- Payroll Entities
PaySync automatically creates payroll entities based on connected accounts.
For example, if a MYOB user has access to three company files, three payroll entities will be created in Workforce TNA. You’ll need to assign employees to the correct entity to ensure they are exported to the appropriate company file.
