Payright Payroll Format and Configuration

Selecting and Configuring a Payroll Export Template in eCaring

The eCaring Payroll Configurator is available to Agency Administrators under: "Settings" ➡️ "Payroll Configurator"

On the Payroll Configurator Screen you can select and manage your payroll export template. You must have a payroll format with the status of "Active" to be able to process payroll in eCaring.

Selecting a Payroll Template

To activate a payroll template, simply check the box on the row which indicates your payroll vendor and click the "Activate" button. Only one payroll template can be active at a time.

Configuring a Payroll Template

Click the blue action button in the far right column of your chosen payroll vendor. In this example, we will specifically cover "Payright".

On this page you should see four sections:

• Services
• Other Pay Items
• Location Codes
• Other Options

Typical Payright Configuration

• Services
  • Earning Codes
    • Payright requires all Earnings Codes - referred to as "Pay Items" in eCaring to have a value of "E" or "D". Any payable item must reflect "E" in the Pay Item field for that service. This should be configured on the main Services screen in eCaring (this is where the "Default Pay Item" value populates from). You can override the Default Pay Item value by entering an Override Value on the payroll configuration screen.
  • Pay Codes
    • Like earning codes, the Default Pay Code is populated from your main "Services" screen and can be overridden from the payroll configuration screen. If you are an existing Payright customer implementing eCaring, it's important that the values match exactly what exists in Payright.
• Other Options
  • Details
    • For Payright, this should be set to "Summary".
  • Employee Identifier
    • Staff ID - this is a unique identifier assigned by eCaring to each of your staff members
    • Payroll ID - this is a field you can customize on each staff member's profile.
    • Staff SSN - pulled from the staff member's profile SSN field.
  • Decimal Places
    • This allows you to control the rounding values of your payroll files.
