The salary history import loads payroll data: what each employee was actually paid in each period. It fills the Salary History on the employee's Compensation tab.

Who can do this: Administrators.

Where: Settings → People & data → Data management → Data Import → Salary History

Your file

Each row is one pay line for one employee.

  • Required: Employee ID/Number and Amount.

  • Optional: Pay Date, Period Start, Period End, Event Date, Component/Pay Type, Quantity, Rate/Price and Currency.

Steps

  1. Download the Template from the Salary History tile, or use your payroll export.

  2. Upload the CSV and map the columns.

  3. Map pay types: for each pay type in your file, choose whether to include or skip it, and which pay component it belongs to. You can create a new component here.

  4. Review and import.

Good to know

  • Salary history is what was paid. Agreed pay, the contract components, is separate. See Agreed pay and salary history.

  • Most HR system connections bring in agreed pay only. Netvisor and SFTP connections can also bring in payroll data; otherwise use this import.

  • Imports accept CSV files only.
