Test and Transmit Data to Payroll

When the records from all of a pay group's locations have been approved to transmit to payroll, you can send the data. When you do, Dayforce generates a file with the pay information for the employees who belong to the pay group which is transmitted to your organization’s payroll application. You can test this export and review the file in Pay Admin Checklist.
