How to Generate TechOne Payroll Export Files through Employment Hero Integration

This topic describes how payroll admin users and coordinators can generate TechOne payroll export files through Employment Hero integration. The payroll workflow involves three key systems, each with a distinct role in managing bookings, timesheets, and payroll processing.

Bookings and timesheets are managed in CareVision, which sends timesheets to Employment Hero for verification. Then, Employment Hero verifies the timesheets, processes the pay run, and provides the pay run data for download. Finally, CareVision converts the pay run data for compatibility with TechOne, where payroll is executed.

Prerequisites

  1. Complete Initial Setup for CareVision and Employment Hero.
  2. Link Employment Hero to CareVision.

Info
Please make sure all prerequisites are completed before proceeding to the next steps, to allow your data to synchronize correctly and your files to be generated accurately. For detailed instructions, refer to the Employment Hero Integration Guide.

I. Generate Timesheet Files in CareVision

To generate timesheet files, perform the following steps:

  1. Prepare Staff Profiles
  2. Review and Approve Bookings Before Export
  3. Generate payroll in CareVision. 
  4. Send Timesheets to Employment Hero (KeyPay)

Once staff profiles are complete and bookings have been approved, you can generate payroll in CareVision. This process will produce two files: a Timesheet file, which contains data on hours worked by staff for each shift, and a Mileage file, which includes information on kilometers traveled by staff, including callout distances. Watch the video for a step-by-step guide on how to generate timesheet files in CareVision, or refer to the Employment Hero Integration Guide for detailed instructions.

II. Process Pay Run in Employment Hero

Once timesheets have been submitted from CareVision, payroll admin users should complete the following steps in Employment Hero:

A. Verify Timesheets 

1. Log in to Employment Hero using your credentials.

2. In the left navigation pane, click Timesheets.

3. Select Approve Timesheets.

4.  Review the imported timesheets to confirm all data from CareVision has synced correctly. The data from CareVision timesheet and mileage files should automatically appear in the Timesheet Approval board in Employment Hero. If you want to confirm that everything has synced correctly, you may find the following points helpful for your review:

  • The Employee External ID column from the CareVision timesheet file should match the Employee Name column in Employment Hero.

  • Compare the Start Date and Time and End Date and Time columns from the CareVision timesheet file with the Start and End columns in Employment Hero to ensure they match.

  • Ensure the Location External ID column from the CareVision timesheet matches the Location column in Employment Hero.

  • Check that the Work Type External ID in the CareVision timesheet matches the Work Type column in Employment Hero. For work types that include distance traveled, confirm that the relevant data from the mileage file is also reflected.

5. Check for any missing, duplicated, or incorrect timesheet entries and resolve any issues as needed.

6. When all timesheets are accurate, continue with your usual approval process in Employment Hero.

4. Click Create to generate the pay run. Then, you will be redirected to the Pay Run section.

5. Click Pay Run Actions > Add Payees, then select the staff members you want to include.
