Time Rack provides a time, attendance, and human resources solution that enables employers to manage employee payroll information. Time Rack produces an XML time clock file that can be imported into the application to increase the efficiency of payroll check processing.

This topic explains what information is shared between the two applications and what actions trigger information to be imported to and exported from Accounting CS.
