The Update Employees button is used to mass update employees and payroll type templates with any change made to a payroll type. This process is known as Mass Update payroll types.
Example:
1. Clicking the Update Employees button in Tax Types will show this message. If you click YES it will update all the employees based on the Tax Type Setup in this form.
Then this message will appear after all Employee taxes and Tax Groups have been updated successfully with the new tax values or the new tax setup.
Same with Earning Types, Deduction Types and Time Off Types.
Example 1:
In this tax type, percent and limit is changed from 0.8% and 7,000.00 to 0.85% and 7,500.00.
Clicking Update Employees button will update all employee taxes and Tax Groups with the new values.
Now let’s us check the Employees' record, notice that Percent and Limit fields show the new values.
Example 2:
In this Earning type, deleted MA tax for Employee tax tab and added 401K for Company tax tab.
Here are the Employee and Company tabs after deleting and adding the tax.
Clicking Update Employees button will update all employee earnings and Earning Groups with all the changes made in the Earning type - Bonus.
Now let’s us check the Employees' record, notice that deleted tax (MA) is no longer shown in Employee tab and added tax (401K) is shown in Company tab.
