Overview

As an organisation, when you move from your previous payroll platform over to Employment Hero Payroll, you would have other income and/or benefits accrued by your employees that would need transferring. This would include your employees' benefits in kind, gains/profits from employee share plans, income from overseas employment/pension funds, and income tax borne by the employer.

The Importing Other Income and/or Benefits feature allows to export a CSV template containing the other income and/or benefits data stored within your payroll platform. Once you have downloaded this template, you can then edit this information, and then re-upload the CSV file onto your platform.

So you have now imported your other income/and or benefits and you are now wondering what next can I do. There are two recommendations I would make on this front and they are:

Payroll Platform: Granting Managers Restricted Access This feature allows you to create your own security groups based on what your managers need access to within your platform.
Payroll Platform: Manage Employee Groups This feature allows to create a new employee group and specify the joining criteria such as being assigned to a specific employing entity.
