Before admins can create a compensation cycle, they must upload employee pay data. There are two ways to upload employee pay data: upload manually via CSV or sync compensation default attributes from your HRIS.
Before you start
- Only Lattice full admins and compensation admins can upload, modify, view, or delete employee pay data. Learn more in Compensation Roles and Permissions.
- Data can only be uploaded for employees who are active in Lattice. Learn more in Understanding Different User States.
- Ensure the preferred full name and email address match with their Lattice account.
