Every pay rate change is recorded with an effective date, so old payroll runs use the rate that was active at that time.

Steps

  1. Go to Payments → By Location tab.
  2. Expand a staff member.
  3. In the Rate History section, click + New Rate.
  4. Enter the new rate, pay type, effective date, and reason.
  5. The previous rate is automatically closed.

How It Works

  • Each rate has an Effective From date.
  • When you add a new rate, the previous one gets an Effective To date.
  • The timeline shows all changes with who made them and why.
  • Payroll runs use the rate that was active during that pay period.
