What Payroll Upload Does

Payroll Upload lets administrators upload payroll data from a file instead of entering values manually. It is useful for importing variable payroll values such as allowances, deductions, hours, or other pay-period data.

When To Use Payroll Upload

Use Payroll Upload when:

• Payroll data comes from a spreadsheet.
• Many employees need payroll items added.
• Values change each period.
• Manual entry would be too slow or error-prone.

Practical Example

A hotel sends a spreadsheet of service charge amounts for 120 employees. Payroll uploads the file, maps employee IDs and amounts, previews the import, and creates payroll items for the period.

Basic Workflow

1. Prepare a clean CSV or spreadsheet.
2. Open Payroll Upload.
3. Select or create a template.
4. Upload the file.
5. Map headers.
6. Preview the results.
7. Fix errors.
8. Import.
9. Review in Draft Review.

Common Mistakes

• Uploading a file without employee IDs.
• Importing duplicate rows.
• Mapping amount columns incorrectly.
• Skipping preview.
