The multi insert tool is the recommended way to create multiple employees on the PayrollHero system.  It is the most time efficient way, and we recommend using this when you need to create a large amount of employee profiles.  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.
