Export SkyTab Workforce Timecards to Paylocity

Description: Learn how to map Workforce timecard data to Paylocity payroll codes and export a CSV file for import into Paylocity.

---

Workforce allows you to map timecard data to Paylocity payroll codes. After mappings are configured, you can export timecards as a CSV file formatted for direct import into Paylocity.

Prerequisites

• Administrator or Manager role with the Manage Timecards sub-permission enabled
• Paylocity payroll codes provided by your Paylocity account representative

Configure Paylocity Mappings

Before exporting timecards, you must map Workforce data to the appropriate Paylocity payroll codes.

Mapping is typically completed once during initial setup and retained for future exports. Updates are only required if payroll codes or organizational structures change.

Required Mappings

Configure the following mappings:

• SkyTab Workforce Department > Paylocity Department
• SkyTab Workforce Compliance Rule > Paylocity Earnings Code
• SkyTab Workforce Job > Paylocity Position
  

Note: Each employee must have their Payroll ID attribute populated in their employee profile (located in the Employee tab).

• The Payroll ID is exported to the EmployeeId attribute in the Paylocity file.
• If a Payroll ID is not set, the employee’s name will populate in the export instead.

Export Timecards to Paylocity (CSV)

Once mappings are configured, export the timecards.

1. Log in to Lighthouse Business Manager (LBM).
2. Navigate to Workforce > Timecards.
   
3. Select the Export icon in the upper-right corner.
   
4. (Optional) If mappings need to be configured or updated, select Create Mapping.

6.  From the Export to Payroll dropdown, select Paylocity (CSV).
   
7. Select Export.
