AU Payroll: Update Rate in Pay Template by Editing the Pay Item
It would be great if the pay rate entered when setting up a pay item filters through to the pay templates. Then if an employee is paid at a higher rate it can be manually changed from there.
This will save so much time when updating pay rates each FY

Hi Rachel, thanks for sharing your thoughts on updating pay item rates.
It is actually possible to update employee rates by editing the pay item, depending on how you process your payroll:
- In Payroll settings > Pay Items, set your standard rate on the earnings item.
- Then, in the employee's Pay Template, add the item and choose Use rate.
Any future updates to that Pay Item will automatically flow through to their template.
We also recently released a pay rate bulk updater to make handling employee pay increments across your team even faster.
Reach out to Xero Support if you'd like a hand setting either of these up!
