How Do I Connect Lightning Payroll With BundyPlus?

Integrating Lightning Payroll with BundyPlus

Lightning Payroll integrates with BundyPlus Employee Time And Attendance software via CSV file import/export. We offer our own basic timeclock functionality, but for users in need of more specialised features such as facial recognition, dedicated hardware or GPS tracking we recommend using BundyPlus. Follow these steps to set up and manage your BundyPlus integration:

Steps to Setup BundyPlus Integration

First, set up your employees and pay rates in Lightning Payroll as usual. Then, proceed with the following steps:

• Go to either the Rosters or Pays screen in Lightning Payroll.
• Click Timeclock (Portal) Sync, then Import/Manage Time And Attendance Data.
• On the first page of the wizard, choose BundyPlus (Import/Export BundyPlus CSV Data) and click Next.

The BundyPlus page of the Time & Attendance Import Wizard has three options:

• Import Time And Attendance Data (default option, used most regularly).
• Export Employee Data.
• Export Pay Items (Pay rates, allowances, leave types, etc.).

Exporting Data for BundyPlus

To set up the BundyPlus integration, follow these steps:

1. Select Export Selected Employees To CSV to create a CSV file of your employees.
2. Next, select Export Pay Items To CSV to create a CSV of pay rates, allowances, leave types, etc.

Once you've generated these two files, log in to BundyPlus and import your employees and pay items via the settings menu. We recommend contacting BundyPlus support during setup. Make sure to select the appropriate export format option to ensure the files are compatible with Lightning Payroll.

Configuring BundyPlus Timeclock

The BundyPlus support team will assist you with configuring your timeclock hardware and/or software and setting up your work rules, enabling employees to begin clocking in and out.

Importing Pay Runs Back into Lightning Payroll

After completing and approving a pay run in BundyPlus, export the pay run to a CSV file. You can then import this file back into Lightning Payroll using the same wizard you used earlier:

• Select Import Time And Attendance Data.

Lightning Payroll will automatically create the required shift associations and prefill the appropriate pay run instantly. Note that imported shifts will reset/overwrite any existing rostered shifts for each employee and pay period included in the import file.

If you need further assistance, please contact BundyPlus Support or Lightning Payroll support.
