Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs you enter, by the method stated below it. The only constants HeadcountDesk supplies are the published federal payroll tax rates and the overtime multiplier, each cited where it is used. The defaults are a worked example to replace with your own.

An employee change form records one change to the employee's record with a date, a reason and an approval: a new address or bank account, a change of role or manager, a pay change, a change of hours or status, a name change. It is the document that keeps the payroll, the directory and the file in agreement, and the history of the forms is the history of the employment. The employee handbook template on this site sets which changes need which approval, free; HeadcountDesk Pro is where the form is filed and the record updated.

What the form holds

Employee, the field changing, the old value, the new value, the effective date, the reason, the requester, the approver. One change per form so the history is readable.

Who approves what

An address change is the employee's to make; a pay change is the owner's to approve. The handbook sets the rule; Pro routes the form to the right approver.

The record updated, the history kept

The current values feed payroll and the directory; the old values stay in the history with the form that changed them. That history is the answer to any later question about when pay changed and who agreed.

Where it lives

Filed against the employee with the contract and the letters. From the vendors' own pricing pages: Homebase lists Essentials at $24 per location per month billed annually or $30 monthly, with a free Basic plan for one location of up to ten employees; BambooHR lists Core at $10 and Pro at $17 per employee per month; Deputy lists Core at $6.50 per user per month.

Employee change form: common questions

Is the employee change form free?

The handbook template that sets the approvals is free with no account. Pro provides the form and updates the record.

Can employees submit their own changes?

For their own details, yes; for pay and role, the manager or owner does. The handbook says which.

Do I need a form for a pay change?

Yes: the form is the record of who approved it and when, which is the answer to the later question.
