# Learn about ERIN's Payroll Automation
In this article, you will learn about how ERIN can automatically update your bonus statuses to Paid after they are processed through your payroll tool.
### Overview
ERIN is able to ingest a report from your payroll processor to let your employees know when their bonuses are paid. To get started, you'll need to set up a report from your payroll processor to be delivered as a .csv file on a regular cadence. To ensure you have the right headers, you can download a sample .csv [here](https://support.erinapp.com/hubfs/sample-paid-bonus-automation-report.csv?hsLang=en).
### Required Fields
We'll need several fields on the report that we ingest from your payroll processor. Below is a brief description of what we'll use each field for:
- **Bonus ID:** We'll need this field on the report to link the entry on the export to the associated bonus in our database. We should currently be providing this on the OTP report, so ideally this would just be returned after the file is processed.
- **Bonus Status:** We'll need this field to return a value that we can map to Paid on our end for any bonuses that were processed from the OTP. We'd also ideally want a status we can associate with any bonuses that weren't paid so that we can flag those bonuses for manual review.
### Recommended Fields
In the event that your payroll processor is unable to return the bonus ID from the bonus report, we can instead use the fields below to match an entry on the report from your Payroll Processor to a bonus in ERIN. Some of the below fields will also be helpful for the purposes of troubleshooting and testing during setup.
- **Employee Email Address**
- **Candidate Email Address**
- **ATS ID (aka Candidate ID)**
- **Referring Employee ID**
- **Eligible Date**
- **First Name**
- **Last Name**
- **Currency**
- **Recipient Type**
- **Bonus Campaign Name**
- **Amount Due**
Once this report is being delivered on a regular cadence, your ERIN Customer Success Manager will work with the ERIN Integrations team to configure this automation via ERIN Connect. For information about what that setup process entails, please contact your ERIN CSM.
