Change without loose ends

Employment changes deserve more than an email and a spreadsheet.

A pay rise, role change or temporary arrangement can involve a manager, HR, payroll, a formal letter and a future effective date. workit brings every step into one controlled process.

Personal variations are handled too, alerting the right people when employees change sensitive profile information such as tax, super, bank or emergency contact details.

Everything inside variations

Complex employment changes, clearly controlled.

Configure the process around the change, rather than forcing every variation through the same rigid workflow.

Employment variations

Formally manage changes to position, salary, employment conditions and other employment details after a staff member has started.

Flexible approval workflows

Choose which variations require approval, who needs to approve them and when they should move to payroll for processing.

Before-and-after comparison

Review current and proposed employment details side by side, making every change clear before it is approved or processed.

Future-effective changes

Complete, approve and process a variation ahead of time, then have the updated employment record take effect on the nominated date.

Temporary or permanent

Set a change as permanent or temporary, with end-of-period logic to restore the prior record, begin offboarding or follow another defined action.

Automated variation letters

Generate a populated variation letter, route it for approval if required, and send it directly to the employee as part of the same process.

Payroll-ready processing

Send approved salary and employment changes through to payroll with a formal record of what changed, when and who approved it.

Personal variations

Alert the right people when employees update core details such as tax, super, bank accounts, emergency contacts and other profile information.

Connected onboarding

Retrigger onboarding when a variation requires new information, documents or employee actions to be collected and completed.

One connected workflow

Approve it, document it, process it and put it into effect.

Each variation can connect approvals, payroll, employee correspondence and onboarding actions, while preserving a clear record of the employee's before-and-after details.

  • Optional approval stages
  • Payroll processing handoff
  • Auto-populated employee letters
  • Future effective dates
  • Temporary change end logic
