The basics

The ADP integration allows you to export approved time-off entries directly from Planbase to ADP for payroll processing.

Here’s what the integration does:

  • Exports approved time-off requests from Planbase to ADP.

  • Excludes time-off requests with a status of Unapproved or Exported.

  • Requires a configured pay frequency (e.g., bi-weekly, semi-monthly) and selected pay cycle range for the export process.

Step 1: Accessing and Reviewing Time-Off Entries

  • Go to the Timesheets section.

  • Select the appropriate pay frequency (e.g., bi-weekly, semi-monthly) and the pay cycle range you want to export (e.g., December 8–21).

  • Select both Pending & Approved filters

  • Review the list of time-off requests. Each request will have a status:

    • Unapproved: Waiting for manager approval.

    • Approved: Ready for export.

    • Exported: Already sent to the payroll system (cannot be re-exported or edited).

💡 Only Approved time will be exported to ADP. Both Exported and Unapproved requests are excluded from the payroll export

Step 2: Previewing the Export

  • Click Preview Export to see a summary of all time-off requests ready for payroll.

  • Check the details for each entry, including:

    • Employee name.

    • Dates of time-off.

    • Current status (e.g., “Ready to Export” or “Already Exported”).

  • You can download the data to excel / csv if further review is required

Step 3: Exporting to Payroll

  1. When ready, click Export to Payroll.

  2. Confirm the action. Once exported, entries are locked and marked as "Exported."

Step 4: Success and Troubleshooting Errors

  • If an error occurs during the export, you’ll see a red error message in the Status column.

  • If the request was successfully exported to ADP a green success message will appear next to the requests and it will now be marked as exported
