## Unique Process

Tamarack had a unique requirement to have the file post fixed with the string ".ready" that flaik can not accommodate. 

**NOTE:** We are working under the pre tense that there is no way to upload the file in the payroll app, but that it can only be send to the payroll system via FTP.

#### PROCESS: Manually rename and FTP the File

1. Download the Wages file from Timekeepign in flaik
2. Rename the file to add ".ready" to the end
3. FTP the file to Dayforce

**RECOMMENDATION:**

flaik has recommended having the local IT department create a script to automate this process.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledgebase.flaik.com/flaik-knowledge-base/for-it-specialists/payroll-export-configuration/resort-specific-info/tamarack-ceridian-dayforce.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
