What is employee External ID
It is an additional identification number that you can use to reference and link the employee with other payroll systems.
This field will be used when you export ClickTime timesheet records to other 3'rd party software such as MYOB, Xero, KeyPay & ADP.
To ensure that ClickTime creates an export file that can be imported by the other payroll software successfully and without errors, you’ll need to ensure that the employee CardID or External ID in other software's automatically mapped to the External ID in ClickTime.
To define the Employee Payroll/ External ID in ClickTime:
1- Go to Employee screen
2- Search for & select the employee
3- Navigate and click on the Payroll tab
4- Enter and define the desired Payroll/External ID for the employee as displayed on the below image
