Salary History Page

Here at Sprout HR, we understand the importance of maintaining an accurate and synchronized salary history for employees. 

The new Salary History page enhances the management of employee salary data by providing a comprehensive and synchronized view of salary details. This feature addresses the challenge of maintaining accurate and aligned salary records in both HR and Payroll systems. Implemented for clients who are *full/half-synced, it allows users to efficiently track and manage salary-related information.

*To understand better how HR and Payroll synchronize their data, please read on this article: Sprout HR and Payroll: How to Maintain the Integrity of your Employee Data

What’s Changed In Viewing Salary History?

Current Salary History Tab (former “Salary”) 

• Shows Synced Salary (Basic Salary and De Minimis) but doesn’t show the Daily Allowance (previously COLA) 
• Allows users to add other salary info like Allowances and Raise information - but do note that this information does not sync to Sprout Payroll
• Excessive space is occupied by non-synchronized information not directly linked to Sprout Payroll.

New Salary History Page

  • Effectivity Date
  • Base Salary

  • Daily Allowance (Repurposing ECOLA to Daily Allowance – Sprout Solutions)
