Steps to manually add or update a salary for a staff member in Workzilla.

What you'll have at the end A salary is saved against the staff member and will be used in any salary multiple targets and profitability reporting.
  1. 1
    Navigate to Administration > Manage Users
  2. 2
    Locate the staff member in the Current Annual Salary column
  3. 3
    No existing salary
    Type the salary directly into the field
    The field accepts numerical values only and saves automatically. You can tab through to the next staff member to enter salaries in sequence.
  4. 4
    Existing salary present
    Click the existing figure to open the salary history modal
    This shows the full salary history for that staff member, including all past values and their start dates.
  5. 5
    Enter the new annual salary amount and set a start date, then click Add
    The salary inserts itself into the history in chronological order. If the start date is the most recent on record, it becomes the current salary. A salary with no start date is treated as the earliest salary. Salaries imported from Xero are super-inclusive — if entering manually, confirm whether to include superannuation for consistency. A target icon next to an existing salary entry indicates a target is relying on that value — take care before deleting it.

    Click Save changes
    Historical salary values are retained so that past reporting remains accurate.
The salary is saved and will apply to any salary multiple targets and profitability reporting from the relevant start date.
