FAST-Pay™ File

What is a FAST-Pay™ File?

FAST-Pay™ enables you to import a CSV file containing each payee's information to compose their pay run, meaning that no changes are required. This file can be created by any third party who consumes time and attendance data and can provide this customer with the interpreted data after applying the relevant rules.
