Moving to WeHR

Move from spreadsheets or another HR software: even mid-year

Bring your employees, salaries, leave balances and the salary already paid this financial year. Your first payroll on WeHR then gets income tax and leave right, with no need to wait for April.

Free for up to 5 employees · 14-day trial, no card needed

What you can bring with you

  • Employees from Excel

    Import everyone from a spreadsheet. WeHR checks each row and shows what needs fixing before anything is saved.

  • Opening leave balances

    Bring each person’s balance for each leave type, so nobody loses leave in the move.

  • Salary paid so far this year

    Add the year-to-date salary and tax already deducted, so TDS for the rest of the year is worked out on the full year.

  • Attendance from your machine

    Connect your biometric machine, or import punches from its export.

  • Bulk changes

    Update many people at once from a spreadsheet | WeHR checks it first and applies only when you confirm.

  • Help moving (Pro)

    Pro customers get help from the WeHR team with the move.

How it works

  1. 1

    Set up the company

    Company, legal entity, locations and departments, about 10 minutes with the setup guide.

  2. 2

    Import people

    Employees, then salaries and opening leave balances.

  3. 3

    Add this year so far

    If you move after April, the salary paid and tax deducted so far.

  4. 4

    Run a parallel month

    Run one month in WeHR next to your old method and compare before you switch over.

Good to know

  • Keep your old records: past years’ payroll stays in your old system or files | WeHR starts from the month you move.
  • Check the first month’s run against your old numbers before approving it.

Questions

When is the best time to move?

At the start of a month. April is simplest for tax, but any month works if you add the salary paid so far.

Can I try it before moving everyone?

Yes. Every new company gets a free trial, import a few people, run a test month and compare.

Do you help with the move?

Pro customers get help moving their data. On other plans, the setup guide and Getting started list walk you through it, and you can raise a support ticket any time.
