How to Update your Employee's Hourly Pay Rates in Bulk
You can update your employee's pay rates in bulk quickly using our 'Update Employee Profiles' feature. Alternatively, you can use the Bulk Import Tool to upload a prepared CSV file containing updated pay rates for multiple employees.
NB: Only an Account Admin can make these changes. Additionally, ensure that permissions for non-Admin roles are verified via Account Access → Manager Role → Employees.
This feature helps users ensure future pay rate changes are applied accurately by reviewing them in advance.
Login to your Bizimply account
Click the dropdown menu on the right-hand side of the screen
Click on Settings
On the left side of the screen click on Employees
Select Update Employee Profiles
Select the pay rate you want to change from the dropdown, each relevant dropdown begins with "Add Pay Record - "
Next click the blue button Download Active Employee List on the right-hand side of the screen
Your Active Employee List will be emailed to your email address
Open the CSV file, all of your active employees will be on this CSV file as seen in the example image below
Fill in the changes you'd like to make for each employee, including an effective from date. If you are adding a new pay rate, the system will automatically set an end date on the previous rate to ensure continuity.
It is important that 'Column A' is not edited. This contains a unique Bizimply ID for each employee - it is not the employee number.
It is okay if you leave a field blank for some employees - the information will not be overwritten with a blank entry and will remain as it currently appears in the system. NB: Don't use N/A or '-' for anyone whose information won't be updated - leave that blank.
Once you have updated the information in the file, save it as a CSV
Click 'Choose File', choose that CSV file that you have just saved and click the blue 'Import' button
The employee's new pay rates will now be in your account. If there are any errors, they will display on the screen. Update the file to correct the errors and import it again For generating payroll reports that include future pay rates, you can use the 'Historical Pay Records' report feature to view pay rates effective on specific future dates. If you encounter issues with pay records, ensure that at least one pay record remains on file by adding a new pay rate with the correct effective date.
