How to Submit Bulk Payroll Changes

Step-by-step guide to updating multiple employees in the same payroll at once using Bulk Changes.

Use Bulk Changes when you need to update multiple employees in the same payroll at once, for example applying a cost-of-living increase across a team, or updating several employees' bank details after a company-wide change. For a single employee, use the individual employee profile flow instead.

What Bulk Changes can be used for

  • Pay element and compensation updates

  • Address changes

  • Bank detail updates

  • Employee terminations

Bulk Changes is an additional option, not a replacement. You can still submit changes for one employee at a time from the employee profile whenever that's easier.

How to submit bulk changes

  1. Go to the Payroll module

  2. Select the payroll you want to update

  3. Click Actions, then select Bulk Changes

  4. Choose the cycle type: Regular or Off-Cycle

  5. Select the exact cycle the changes should apply to, then click Next

  6. Download the Excel template

  7. Fill in the required changes for each employee in the template

  8. Re-upload the completed template

  9. Review the changes, then submit

Once submitted, the system processes all changes from the uploaded file.

What happens after you submit

  • Submitted changes are applied to the relevant payroll cycle if submitted before the input due date

  • Some changes may require additional review by Remote People

Keep in mind: changes submitted after cutoff may be delayed, and some changes can't be edited once payroll processing has begun. If you're unsure whether a change will make the current cycle, contact us before the input due date.
