Updating all casual pay rates
I have 24 casual staff at the moment, each with six different pay rates. These pay rates have increased as of 1 July and I need to update them, however it seems the only way to do this is to go into each employee's info and update their rates, one employee at a time. This will require significant time investment to update, however my main concern is that by the end of this financial year I expect to have over 100 staff so a rate rise on 1 July 2018 is going to take FOREVER to update.
Is there a way to bulk update pay rates for my casual staff?
Thanks.

Yup that's what you need to do
However under the Fair Work Act if an casual employee has similar hours for 3 months then he/she should/can become Permanent/part time which means probably only one pay rate plus penalties, which will reduce your workload.
If you want to play fast & loose with the Fair Work Act then that's what you end up doing.

Let me worry about their employment conditions, I'm asking about updating the rates.
There has got to be a way to update these rates in bulk, surely? It seems like a huge oversight for it to be set up this way...imagine having to do this for 500 or 1000 employees? Seems ludicrous..

I'm a BAS/TAX Agent, I am required by law to tell you.
I've not yet found a way to do what you want in Reckon Hosted.
However if you use a specific Payroll program (including Reckon Payroll) a lot of them will update through the Awards but then you have a specific purely Payroll program to run payroll and another Accounting Program for full accounting but then the accounting program can import from the Payroll program into the accounting program. Reckon has this, I think.
But money, money money

But then again, by connecting to the Awards and downloading the updated payrates, it will quite likely notice that Joe Bloggs has been employed as a Casual every week for the last two years and a pop up will happen telling you what I've just told you.
Sometimes technology can be a curse

Charles, my employees work sporadically and under the fair work instruments they are deemed 'irregular,' therefore the permanent job offer requirements do not apply to them. Let's keep this on topic thanks.
It seems really silly that I have X employees all on the same rates for normal time, Tx1.5, Tx2.0 etc, yet to update pay rates I have to do it for each individual staff member. This is going to be an absolute nightmare next financial year.
Yet another simple failure by a ~$1000 piece of software, I'm pretty close to requesting a refund and going elsewhere.
Thanks for your input1 -
Hi there - I once sourced a product for a client that would allow easy updating of payrates and importing into Reckon... It was great - I have spent some time trying to find it again tonight and finally found a site you can check out!!! look at http://www.datahouse.com.au/payratemate.com.au/
It is older but I cant see why it wouldnt work with the current version of Reckon - certainly worth a try? Cheers Linda0 -
Ohhh in tried to open that site my Avast came with a virus infection message.I could not open that link

LOL no problem at my end with Avast or AVG... business must be slow if you're resorting to this sort of thing in order to make the competition look bad.
I've told you before Chandra, I'm not interested in your products or services. You're wasting your time commenting on my topics.0 -
thats no good... I did email them and will let you know if I get a reply... I know the product worked well for a client with 120 staff and lots of changes to rates...0
