3. Testing — what to expect before you go live
Once the payroll connection is established, our team will review your payroll configuration and send a test file to American Funds with your census and contribution data. American Funds will cross-check this against their records to make sure everything lines up.
Before testing kicks off, please make sure your payroll system has accurate, up-to-date information for all employees:
-
Full name
-
Address
-
Date of birth
-
Hire date
-
Termination date (if applicable)
If your plan excludes any employee classes — for example, part-time or union employees — please let your Payroll Integrations implementation specialist know so we can configure the integration correctly from the start.
During testing, you will need to continue manually:
-
Submitting payroll files to American Funds
-
Applying any contribution or deduction changes from American Funds into your payroll system
-
Testing typically spans a few pay cycles. We will notify you as soon as the automated connection is live — at that point, you can stop the manual steps entirely.
