Update Employee Wages and Salaries with Effective Dates

In 7shifts, Admins, and Managers can update employee wages and salaries for both past and future dates to ensure labor costs remain accurate. 

Things to Know

• The Effective Wage Date option is not available if Wage Sync is enabled with a POS integration.
• Updating the minimum wage within Company Settings does not automatically adjust individual employee wages.
• Wages can be retroactively applied for up to 30 days in the past.
• Wage changes will not affect third-party data or 7shifts Payroll that has already been processed.
• Employee wages and salaries are included in the Labor Budget Tool and labor reports depending on their assignments within their employee profiles.

Update wages for a future date

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

1. In the 7shifts web app, navigate to Team.
2. Select the employee profile.
3. Click the Wages and Payments tab.
4. Select Change Pay.

5. Enter the new amount and select the future effective date.

   Note: Always re-enter the wage field when making changes.
6. Click Save.

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

Update wages for a past date

If you need to apply a wage change retroactively, use the Effective Wage Date option to update shifts that have already occurred. Changes will not affect thirdy-party data or payroll that has already been processed.

1. In the 7shifts web app, navigate to Team.
2. Select the employee profile.
3. Click the Wages and Payments tab.
4. Select Change Pay.
5. Enter the correct amount and select the past effective date (within the last 30 days).
6. Click Save.

Confirm the new rate has been applied by reviewing 7shifts Reports or the Time Clocking page.
