As an organisation, you would use a pay schedule to determine at what time intervals your employees will receive payment. You could have employees on weekly, fortnightly, or monthly schedules, each with a different setup that makes sure they get paid the correct amount at the right time.

You can manage pay schedules on your connected Employment Hero Payroll classic, and any changes you make there will automatically be updated on Employment Hero. This will make sure Employment Hero reflects the latest payroll configuration data and correct employee records.

Ongoing synchronisation with the payroll classic platform

Once you have connected your payroll classic and Employment Hero, Employment Hero becomes the source of truth for your company settings, payroll settings, and employee file data. To read further details on how to update an employee's salary history details, refer to the following article.

When you first connect the two platforms, Employment Hero will pull the data from the payroll classic  platform into Employment Hero, such as your pay schedule data. Any pay schedule changes made on the payroll classic platform after this initial integration will automatically be updated on Employment Hero.

Once you have imported any recent changes from the payroll classic platform, you can make amendments to an employee's file, such as their salary history. To read further details on how to manage pay schedules on your payroll platform, refer to the following article.

Why does the pay schedule show as disabled?

Employment Hero will show a pay schedule as disabled if the data no longer exists on your payroll classic platform. You can not delete disabled pay categories if you have used them previously in the HR 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.

What do I do if there is a data mismatch between Employment Hero and Payroll classic platform?

Any pay schedule changes you make on the payroll classic platform will automatically sync over and be updated on Employment Hero.

However, if you notice a discrepancy in data between the two platforms, we recommend manually updating your pay schedules on Employment Hero.

  1. Click the Settings menu.
  2. Under General Settings, click the Add-ons submenu.
  3. Click the Actions dropdown button for Employment Hero Payroll classic platform.
  4. Click Update.
