Payroll Export Center


The Payroll Export Center enables users to generate robust payroll reporting, export ADP (.csv) and Paychex (.txt) vendor files, and streamline payroll processing and operations overall.


Agencies have the option of using the Payroll Export Center or the Payroll Summary in the Home Health solution for processing payroll. If you choose not to enable the Payroll Export Center, you will still have the full functionality of the Home Health Payroll Summary. If you enable the Payroll Export Center, you will no longer process payroll under Payroll Summary. Complete the instructions below to enable the Payroll Export Center. Once enabled, update user profiles for each of your agency’s users. Instructions for updating user profiles are also provided below. Once your updates are done, you will be able to generate more robust Excel reporting and vendor exports for seamless payroll processing.


If your agency does not process payroll for ADP or Paychex, you can still choose to opt-in and process your payroll. Upon generating the export file, save or discard the file (since the format will not apply to your agency). Processing payroll this way will require you to manually generate an export file for your vendor, but you will be able to do so in a more efficient manner because of the robust Excel reports provided.

Reports can be generated in the Payroll Export Center using the following buttons:

Export Details   Generates an Excel file with over 25 columns of data, including items selected from the Additional Columns menu. Agencies that do not use ADP or Paychex as a payroll vendor can use this report to manually create an export file that meets their vendor’s specific requirements.  

Generate the above reports by selecting the respective Export Generated or Export Details button on the right side of the screen.
