The file contains the absence day record data for the period you specified. Keep in mind:
-
Absence Day Records are only generated and included in the file for absences created after enabling daily absence reporting, or for a period you have included in a batch absence day record creation job.
-
Absence Day Records are not generated or included in the file if the parent absences are associated with Absence Accrual Rule excluded from daily Time Off reporting.
If you want Payflow to automatically export the data at regular intervals, you can configure it in the Automatic Processing section of the Download Configure page, see Configuring a download for more information.
