ASCII vs. UTF-8 Encoding

Some payroll programs require a specific encoding format on files being imported into the system.

Use the following instructions to override the default encoding, and specify the format used on export and report files.

1. Click on the main "Admin" navigation tab at the top of the screen, and then on the "Settings" link located under the System Tools header.
2. Locate the File Settings section toward the bottom of the screen.
3. Put a check mark in the Override IIS File Encoding option.
4. The Export Saved File Encoding field allows you to select the encoding format for export files. Select either "ASCII" or "UTF-8" from the drop-down menu.
5. The Report Saved File Encoding field allows you to select the encoding format for saved reports. Select either "ASCII" or "UTF-8" from the drop-down menu.

Click on the [SAVE] icon at the bottom of the screen to save the changes that you have made.
