Question
How do I upload a Roster Live (WHS) data file onto my payroll classic platform?
Answer
You can use the Timesheet Importing feature to import the timesheet data stored within your Roster Live (WHS) platform.
Important
This feature on Payroll classic is not available for users under the following plans: Employment Lite, Employment Plus, and Employment Unlimited. Instead, you need to use the Rostering feature on the Employment Hero platform.
Warning
Timesheets will only flow from Employment Hero to your payroll classic platform, i.e. this data connection is not bidirectional, and any timesheet submissions made in the payroll classic platform will not flow through to Employment Hero.
