How to Update Employee Wages and Salaries

In 7shifts, Admins, Managers and Assistant Managers can update employee wages and salaries for both past and future dates.


⚠️ Prerequisites

  • Manager Permissions Required:
    • Can edit employees 
    • Can view wages 
  • Important Notes:
    • Wages and salaries can only be adjusted up to 30 days in the past.
    • The Effective Wage Date option is not available if Wage Sync is enabled with your POS integration.


Set a Wage or Salary Change for a Future Date

If an employee’s pay is changing at a future date, you can schedule the update in advance.

Steps:

  1. Go to Team from the left navigation bar.
  2. Select the employee's profile.
  3. Click on the Wages and Payments tab.
  4. Locate the wage or salary you want to update.
  5. Enter the new amount and select the effective date.
  6. Click Save.

On the selected date, any new shifts created for the employee will reflect the updated rate.

Tip: To modify or cancel the scheduled change before it takes effect, click the 🗑️ (Garbage Can) or ✏️ (Pencil) icon.

Set a Wage or Salary Change in the Past

If you forgot to update an employee’s wage or need to apply it retroactively (up to 30 days), you can use the Effective Wage Date feature.

⚠️ Note: Changes will not affect third-party data or payroll that has already been processed.

Steps:

  1. Go to Team from the left navigation bar.
  2. Select the employee's profile.
  3. Click on the Wages tab.
  4. Find the wage or salary you want to adjust.
  5. Enter the correct amount and the effective date (within the last 30 days).
  6. Click Save.

Then, go to the Schedules or Time Clocking page, or use your 7shifts Reports to confirm the new rate has been applied to past shifts.
