Payroll

Exporting payroll (CSV + PDF)

Run a clean export to QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, or whatever payroll provider you use.

Where exports live

Navigate to Export (manager only). You'll see two formats:

• CSV — for importing into your payroll provider
• PDF — for filing, workers' comp audits, and DOL records

Setting the date range

Use the date pickers at the top to set the pay period. Common choices:

• Last week (most common — Sunday-to-Saturday or Monday-to-Sunday)
• Bi-weekly (last 14 days)
• Custom range for special audits

What's in the CSV

Each row is one employee with their totals for the pay period. Columns include:

• Employee name + ID
• Regular hours (paid at the standard rate)
• Overtime hours (paid at 1.5×)
• Double-time hours (where applicable — California, etc.)
• Lunch deductions (if auto-lunch is enabled)
• Gross estimated earnings (if you've set hourly rates)
• Notes column with any per-shift comments

Importing into QuickBooks

1. In QuickBooks Online: Payroll → Run Payroll
2. Click Import time
3. Choose Upload CSV
4. Select the file you exported from Clox
5. Map the columns (QuickBooks shows a preview)
6. Confirm and run payroll

Importing into Gusto, ADP, etc.

Most payroll providers accept a generic CSV with hours per employee. The Clox export matches the common format. Your provider's docs will have specific column-mapping instructions.

PDF format

The PDF is a complete record per employee: every shift, every break, every overtime hour, with the rules applied. Save these for:

• Workers' comp audits (annual)
• DOL inspections
• Customer billing disputes
• Your own annual records
