What's new: Upload one combined PDF, and 250 documents per batch

Upload a single PDF containing every employee's payslip and Borderless splits it into the bulk upload for you. A batch now takes up to 250 documents instead of 50.

What has changed

If your payroll system gives you every employee's payslip in a single PDF, you no longer need to screenshot or crop each page before uploading. Upload the one file and Borderless splits it for you, then puts the pages straight into Smart Document Upload.

A bulk upload also now takes up to 250 documents instead of 50, so a full monthly payroll run can go up in one batch.

How to use it

  1. Go to the Individuals page and start a document upload as you do today

  2. Choose the single PDF that contains all of your payslips

  3. Borderless splits the file and hands the pages to the usual upload flow

  4. Review the matches and confirm, exactly as you would for any other batch

What to know before you upload

  • One page becomes one document. Every page of the PDF is treated as its own document, so a 40-page payslip report becomes 40 documents and counts as 40 against the 250 file limit.

  • Documents that run to more than one page are split too. If a single payslip covers two pages, you will get two separate documents rather than one two-page payslip.

  • Files that cannot be split are refused straight away. Password-protected PDFs, damaged files, PDFs with too many pages, and PDFs whose pages are individually very large are rejected with a reason, rather than failing part way through.

  • Nothing else about the flow changes. Each document is still classified automatically, matched to the right employee, and payslips are still checked against the relevant Certificate of Sponsorship.
