This allows for a consistent format when creating payroll files for external systems.

  To use file layout, users must first define the structure of the payroll file. This includes defining the order of fields, the length of each field, and the type of data stored in each field. Once this is done, users can then create payroll files with this structure. The file layout feature also allows users to save their file structures for future use.
