Importing your payroll history
A minimum of 1 full calendar year of information is required for an accurate assessment and to create accurate ACA forms. A partial year of payroll history can be included in addition to the one full calendar year.
Each time you have a new calendar year of data to review, you must import your payroll history. If you have updates to your payroll history, you must import a new file with the appended data in order for the changes to be reflected in your forms.
To import your payroll history into My Workforce Forms:
- Prepare your payroll history file using the template and follow the data requirements. Save the file in a secure location on your system, but make sure you can access it for the import process.
- Open My Workforce Forms and select .
- Click the button to locate your payroll history file, select your file, and click .
- Click to begin the file validation.
- When the import is complete, the Import Summary displays. Confirm that the Successfully Imported Records (employees and payroll records) corresponds to the data in your file.
- If the import fails, review the Error Report for more information.
Note: Each time you import your payroll history, the previous information is overwritten. This means you can re-import your payroll history multiple times, and each time you have a new payroll you can add it to your payroll history file and import again.
