Using ADP Workforce Now for payroll? TimeClick 25 makes exporting employee hours simple and accurate. In just a few clicks, you can generate a file formatted perfectly for ADP’s system - no manual edits required.

Since ADP imports time data in its own specific layout, TimeClick automatically prepares the report to meet those requirements.

Here’s how to get your TimeClick hours ready to upload into ADP Workforce Now.

Step 1: Add ADP Employee IDs in TimeClick

Before you run your report, make sure each employee’s ADP Employee ID is entered in TimeClick.

  1. Go to Admin ModeEmployees
  2. Select an employee
  3. Click Edit Employee
  4. In the Payroll ID field, enter the employee’s ADP Employee ID
  5. Click Save

Repeat this process for each employee included in your payroll export. You only need to do it once per employee, but remember to add IDs for any new hires later on.

In most cases, ADP accepts TimeClick’s report without any problems. But if something doesn’t match up, try these quick checks:

  • Make sure Payroll IDs are identical in both systems
  • Confirm the correct date range and hours were exported
  • Reach out to ADP support for help with their import process
  • Or contact us at support@timeclick.com if the file format looks incorrect

These issues are uncommon and typically easy to resolve. ADP’s support team is flexible and often helps clients adjust import formats when needed, so don’t hesitate to include them in the process.
