## Step-by-step

1. ### Lock the period

   In *Attendance → Closure*, pick the month. Check the remaining anomalies counter (ideal: 0).
2. ### Pick the export format

   Native connector (recommended) or generic CSV. For CSV, map each column to a payroll code in your software.
3. ### Run the export

   The file generates in seconds. Download it or let Illizeo push it automatically via SFTP/API to your payroll system.
4. ### Verify payroll return

   Compare Illizeo hours to actually paid hours. Gaps surface in the *Reconciliation* report.
