How to change an employee's salary

When you change the salary of an employee there are a couple of things to keep in mind as the detail you add will directly affect the employees pay.

When submitting a salary change the key data is the Salary itself, the effective date and the frequency of the payment.

Please note: Changing salary data via the Batch Upload will set the salary to the day of the upload. Please contact us for assistance on bulk changing your employees' salaries. Salary changes via Batch Upload
