PayMaster, Inc. - Evolution Time Clock Import Format
Evolution Time Clock Import Format

This page describes the format used to import time clock data into Evolution.

This file format is often referred to as Evolution, Rapid Pay, Time0002 or Paychex Preview in the export section of your time clock software.

The specifications below are displayed in a 'Fixed Length' fashion. 'Comma Quote Delimited' can be used as an alternative.

All of the fields below are not necessarily required and are included only to provide scalability for time clock software that is capable of taking advantage of them.

workers' compensation code You can attach the state and W/C when using the time clock import. When matching WC codes, Evolution will  look to the full 6 characters used for workers compensation. In the time clock import, rather than having just 8810, you can now select 8810VT and Vermont's 8810 code will be attached. If there is no state attached to a workers compensation code, Evolution  will apply the first matching code.
