Multi Insert Tool: Schedule Update

The multi insert tool can be used to create multiple schedules on the PayrollHero system.  It is the most time efficient way, and we recommend using this when you have to assign schedules to a lot of employees.  The system automatically generates a bespoke template for you to complete.  It is designed specifically for your company and its settings. This article will explain how to use the feature.
