Overview
Understanding and following complex modern awards can be one of the biggest challenges facing small to medium businesses. Employment Hero has over forty-five modern awards built into the payroll platform, to make award interpretations easy to follow within your organisation.
The Update Awards feature allows you to synchronise the awards and classifications created on your payroll platform and make them selectable within the HR classic platform. Making sure the HR classic platform has the latest payroll configuration data and the employee records have the correct information.
Getting started
The below process will walk you through how to update your HR classic platform award data.
- Click the Settings menu.
- Click the Classifications submenu.
-
Click the Update From Payroll button.
Helpful Hint
The Classifications page will now show a green Updated button and means the HR classic platform has successfully imported your classifications from the payroll platform. You can click the View Pay Rates button to see further details about the classification, such as pay rate, pay type, and pay category.
Further information
Once you have connected your Payroll and HR classic platforms, the HR classic platform becomes the primary source of truth for your company settings, payroll settings, and employee file data.
When you first connect the two platforms, the HR classic platform will pull the data from the payroll platform into the HR classic platform, such as your award and classification data. After this initial sync, data flows one way, from the HR classic platform to the payroll platform. Any additional changes to classifications after the initial integration require you to manually update your classification data.
Once you have imported any recent changes from the payroll platform, you can make amendments to an employee's file, such as their salary history. To read further details on how to manage awards and classifications on your payroll platform, refer to the following article. To read further details on how to update an employee's salary history, refer to the following article.
The HR classic platform will show a classification as disabled, if the data no longer exists on your payroll platform. You can not delete disabled classifications if you have used them previously in the HR classic platform. The reason for this is platform data accountability and to make sure that when you use the Audit Trail feature, we display the correct logs of what changes occurred within your platform.
