Bulk Rate Update allows you to import changes to rates using a file, rather than updating records individually. Due to the impact on system performance and processing, it is strongly recommended that bulk rate updates are performed outside normal business hours.
📌 Note: Rates may fail to update if they are:
Locked for editing in Rates & Rules or Recruitment Manager.
Being used by the Interpreter service for timesheet interpretation.
Included in a Back Pay Batch in Rates & Rules.

Click Import Rates.
The file selection dialog box is displayed.Browse to and select the file that contains the updated rates, then click Open.
The system begins validating the file.
If mandatory columns and data types are valid, a warning message is displayed advising that bulk updates should be completed outside normal working hours.
If validation fails, an error message is displayed, and the batch is not submitted.

After the Import Is Submitted
