How do I setup payroll for ADP?

Paying your employees should be quick and easy. To help with this, you can configure FieldClock to export pay data into a file that’s accepted by ADP.

If you haven’t already, please watch our videos titled “How to create a Payroll Entity” and “How to map payroll codes” linked below to first learn about Payroll Entities, template placeholders and payroll code mapping. This will provide you with the knowledge necessary to successfully configure ADP.

  • Click the “Software” dropdown and select “ADP” as your payroll software
  • The “Temp Cost Number Template” allows you to specify the columns that you need in your ADP file…
  • Template Placeholders, which are listed in blue on the right-hand side of your screen, can be used to map payroll codes in any order you want…
  • For instance, if the first and second columns in your ADP file represent Employee ID and Hours Worked respectively, copy and paste {employee_number} and {hours_count} into your Temp Cost Number Template input box, separated by commas
  • The result should be “{employee_number},{hours_count}”... 
  • Do the remaining columns any way you need, which can also be separated by any other symbol as well, such as pipes or dashes…
  • Next, enter a Client or Account ID into your “Company Code” input…
  • If you’d like to leave minimum-wage adjustments out of your payroll export, select “Yes” for the “Omit MWA Payouts” option
