How do I add a recurring allowance or deduction?

Created by Andrew Marcus, Modified on Mon, 3 Aug at 3:11 PM by Andrew Marcus

Add it as a pay item on the employee's record under People → Employees. Open the employee, go to their pay items, and add the allowance or deduction with its amount and whether it repeats.

Recurring items are picked up automatically by every pay schedule from then on. One-off items apply to a single period.

Set the effective period rather than editing an item mid-year, so past payslips continue to show what was actually paid at the time.

Deductions calculated as a percentage of pay recalculate each period. Fixed amounts stay the same until you change them.
