Open Payroll form

Navigate to the Payroll menu and click Run Payroll.

Choose between manual entry or uploading a CSV

If you have less than 10 payments to make or need to set up fiat payments, we recommend using the interface. Otherwise, using a CSV will be quicker.

Note that uploading a CSV will reset the list of existing payments.

Manual entry

Click on Add Payment;

1. Enter your employee's data

Select an employee who should be part of this payroll. If you have never added employees to Request Finance, you can do this in this step, too.

Adding a wallet address or bank account to an employee

If your employee wants to receive cryptocurrency: provide the wallet address to pay in cryptocurrency (e.g. USDC), while your employee also receives cryptocurrency (e.g. USDC).

If your employee wants to receive fiat: provide the bank account of your employee to pay in cryptocurrency (e.g. USDC) while your employee receives fiat (e.g. EUR), using our Crypto-to-Fiat solution.

2. Enter how your employee is paid

Denomination Currency: Select the currency the payment should be denominated in. The denomination currency is the currency that's on the agreement or contract of your employee.

Currency & Network: If your employee wants to be paid in cryptocurrency, you can select the currency and network to pay them here.

For instance, if you agreed to pay USD 5,000.00 to your employee every month and you want to pay in USDC, then the denomination currency is USD, and the payment currency is USDC.

3. Enter how much your employee is paid

Add how much your employee is paid. Optionally you can also add a reference that will show up on your employee's payslip.

You can add multiple items to the payslip. You can even add negative amounts to indicate any deductibles, like taxes or social contributions.

4. Add the payment

Click Add to add the payment. Rinse and repeat for any additional payments you want to add to the payroll.

Uploading payroll via CSV

Click on Add by CSV Upload;

1. Get the template

Next, get your template here to be able to start preparing the CSV file.

2. Fill in the CSV

You need to fill in the template. Refer to the table below to understand what you can add to each payment.

You can upload up to 200 payments, so do not fill in more than that per CSV. If you have to upload more than 200, split the CSV into multiple files.
