Organisations benefit from using a pay schedule as it ensures that employees will receive their payments based on the specific time intervals (weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or otherwise) that apply to their payroll.
You can manage pay schedules on your connected Employment Hero Payroll, and any changes you make there will automatically be updated on the HR platform. This will make sure your HR platform reflects the latest payroll configuration data and correct employee records.
Manage data
- Click the Settings menu.
- Click the Pay Schedules submenu.
- Click the Update From Payroll button.
Helpful Hint
The Pay Schedule page will now show a grey Updated button and means Employment Hero has successfully imported your pay schedules from your Xero platform.
Further information
Select the payroll platform you have integrated with for the relevant instructions.
Once you have connected your payroll and HR platforms, the HR platform 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 this article.
When you first connect the two platforms, the HR platform will pull the data from the payroll platform into the HR platform, such as your pay schedule data. Any pay schedule changes made on the payroll platform after this initial integration will automatically be updated on the HR platform.
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 pay schedules on your payroll platform, refer to this article.
The HR platform will show a pay schedule as disabled if the data no longer exists on your payroll platform. You can not delete disabled pay categories if you have used them previously in the HR platform. This is due to platform data accountability, and it is also to ensure that we display the correct logs of what changes occurred within your platform when you use the Audit Trail feature.
Any pay schedule changes you make on the payroll platform will automatically sync over and be updated on the HR platform.
However, if you notice a discrepancy in data between the two platforms, we recommend manually updating your pay schedules on the HR platform.
- Click the Settings menu.
- Under General Settings, click the Add-ons submenu.
- Click the Actions dropdown button for Employment Hero Payroll.
- Click Update.
