**Note** The File Archive Module needs to be installed (SYSTEM/MODULES/FILE ARCHIVE MODULE) first in order for everyone to see this option under Utilities depending on how the permissions are structured.  ADMIN/GM/USPS STANDARD users will, by default, be able to view all 3 types.  


File Import will be visible to everyone, but once on the view, if they don't have permission, they'll be shown a message stating that fact.  You can import files from Zip archive files for Pay Forms (Payment Notifications) and W2 Forms and Classic Payroll CD files.
User will enter pay date for pay forms and year for w2s.

There are two options for Pay Slips and W2 Forms for importing and one for Classic Payroll Cd files:

  • Import Single Zip File will only allow one zip file to be imported at a time
  • Import Multiple Zip Files will allow multiple zip files to be imported at one time
  • Import Classic Payroll CD Archives will allow uploading Payroll Cd files

The zip file for W2s might contain files named like "DistrictA_W2s_999917843_2017.pdf" 

The software needs to know either the SSN or Employee #.  In my example, 999917843 is the SSN.  The filename is separate by "_" characters, but it could be spaces, dashes, periods ,or some other character.  This is what the "Filename delimiter(s)" prompt is all about.  If they are using any of the default, most common delimiters, they wouldn't have to change this.

In the example, the SSN, once separated by its delimiters, is located in the 3rd "segment" out of 4, the district would choose 3 from the Filename segment for employee identifier prompt and then SSN from Employee identifier prompt. The Filename segment for control number is for Import Type, W2's and Filename segment for payment number if for Import Type, Payment Notifications.  After clicking Load or Refresh Import Preview, it will upload the selected Zip file and attempt to parse out the SSN from each file and match it with an Employee.  The results will show in the grid along with the number of the files that it was able to find for an Employee. 

Import Single Zip File

Will Import a Single Zip file only

The purpose of this is to allow districts, when the Payroll CD files were not included in their import, to import them from Classic anytime after import.

The first chance to import Payroll CD into Redesign is during the initial extract, import of the Classic USPS data. They need to use the "TRUE" option on the Classic USPSREXTR.COM command procedure as detailed here: USPS Classic Extract Process

If they did not choose TRUE during extract, they can use these instructions:
