Bulk Update Pay Rates
Updating pay rates one employee at a time gets tedious fast — especially when you're refreshing rates for a whole team at once. In Manage Payroll there are two ways to bulk update pay rates.
- Employee Pay Rates Upload (via import)
- Business Settings bulk update tool
Employee Pay Rates Upload
Go to Import Employees settings → select Employee Pay Rates Upload. You download the template, fill in the new rates, upload it, and the file has to pass validation before the rates apply.
To export the file
Click the Business Settings menu followed by the Payroll settings option. Then click the Data Extracts button and set the Data type field to the employee pay rates option. Options that are available are
- Template with employee pay rates: active employees only.
- Template with employee pay rates (including terminated employees): active and terminated employees.
- Empty template: no employees.
To import file
Click the Business Settings menu followed by the Payroll settings option. Then click the Import Employees button. Then select the Employee Pay Rates Upload option from the Import Employees From drop-down menu. From this screen, you can also download the employee pay rates export file.
Users can delete any pay category column from the file that they do not want to update. So long as the employee Id column and one pay category column are included in the file, the file will successfully import, pending validation passes. The file will be validated before the platform starts process employee pay rate updates.

Bulk Update Tool
The bulk rate feature allows you to update the salaries and pay rates for up to 200 employees at once, without having to update the individual profile.
