Step 1: Ensure Payscales are correct.

Ensuring the pay scale values are correct is important to ensure the backpay is based off the correct two years i.e 2024 -2025.

To begin you will need to be on the central side of the budget planning software (BPS), then navigate to central data --> pay elements and Payscales.

In the pay scales screen you will see a drop down list of all of your payscales, for the scales that require backpay navigate to the bottom of the page where you will see "bulk entry".

Then after pressing the bulk entry button you will see "adjustment"- this is a quick way to update all points with a certain % rate.

As shown below, ensure the "adjust pay value" drop down is set as 01/09/2025 for teachers or 01/04/2025 for support staff.

Then enter the relevant rate--> apply --> save.

You will then have to repeat this step for all other relevant Payscales requiring backpay.
