How to use this template
- Capture the change. The employee or manager completes only the sections that are changing, with old and new values.
- Route for approval. Send pay or role changes to the relevant approver before they're processed.
- Process and file. HR updates the HRIS, records who processed it and when, then files the form.
Frequently asked questions
Why use a formal data change form?
It creates an audit trail — who requested the change, what changed, when it took effect, and who approved it. That traceability protects you in payroll disputes and compliance reviews, unlike an informal email.
Which changes need approval?
Pay, role, title, and working-hours changes should be approved by a manager or HR before processing. Simple updates like a new address or emergency contact can usually be processed directly.
How does this connect to payroll?
Any change affecting pay, hours, or banking must reach payroll before the next run. The processing section's 'payroll notified' field ensures the handoff is recorded and nothing is missed.
