Correct Setup: Importing Timeclocks with Custom Pay Adjustments to Smartly

  • If you are using custom pay adjustments in Loaded, we recommend creating a custom pay type in the Company Settings page, this must only contain numerical digits (no letters or special characters). You’ll also need to create a corresponding pay type in Smartly in Company Details → Pay Components and select whether it is an Allowance, Deduction, Benefit or Special Leave. The Code field should match the Pay Code field in Loaded.

  • You cannot export a custom pay adjustment as #50 Ordinary Pay.

  • If you want to export a custom adjustment as #51 Allowance, Deduction or Benefit, note that you will need to manually edit the the Pay Component Code and Unit columns in the export file. Pay Component Code is the Code value in the screenshot above, and Units is how many of that pay component the employee needs.

Once this has been set up, you can follow the Export to Smartly steps, from there the Loaded generated payroll export will import correctly into Smartly with any relevant pay adjustments.
