# Payroll Exporting
Before your season begins, we will work with you to ensure we have all the requirements we need
Timekeeping's purpose is to give you and your staff the tools to ensure that the data going to your payroll system is accurate. The process of exporting to your payroll system depends on a few factors that are specific to your school, such as:
* **Frequency:** Some systems require daily imports, whereas others allow for biweekly (or whichever interval matches your pay periods.)
* **Export format:** In most cases, your payroll system can accept all timesheet data from flaik in one file (called the Timekeeping report.) However, some payroll systems require wage information and incentives (or bonuses) to be in separate files. In that case, the interface in Timekeeping will separate out the two into different reports (called the Wages report & Incentives report.)
* **Manual upload vs FTP:** Some payroll systems allow flaik to save your Timekeeping data to a specified location (via FTP or SFTP.) If this is possible, we'll work with you to make sure this is configured appropriately. If this is not supported by your payroll system, you can manually save your Timekeeping data via the action panel on the right. Once saved, you can use your payroll system's user interface to upload the data:
Sending your payroll files via FTP or SFTP is the best case scenario, as you only need to worry about finalizing your timesheets at the end of the day - flaik takes care of the rest.

## 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-sups-managers/timekeeping/timekeeping-overview-3.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
