Getting the right file out of Paycom

  • Export the Check Register (or the payroll preview register) to Excel or CSV, one row per check. PDF registers can't be read; use the Excel export option instead.
  • Keep the same report layout each period. The tool finds columns such as EE Code, Employee Name, Department, Check Date, Check #, Rate, Reg Hours, OT Hours, Gross, Taxes, Deductions and Net Pay. If it misses one, open Columns on that file and pick it.
  • Employees are matched by EE Code when present, otherwise by name. Include the EE Code column so name changes don't show up as a new hire plus a missing employee.
  • Things this tool can't see from a register, and worth checking in Paycom before you submit: direct deposit account changes made since last payroll, address or W-4 changes, new pay codes, and manual or off-cycle checks.
