What is Edit Salary & How does it work?


Edit salary allows the user to change the amount of the monthly basic salary of the employee during the monthly payroll processing (run payroll) without changing the employee's compensation record in the employee people profile. 


It is advised to utilize this function in the below situations:


  • The employee is a new joiner or resignee, and their salary pro-ration calculation is not the same with altHR
  • Ad-hoc salary changes 
  • It will not require any effective date
  • The edited salary only will only one-time-off change the monthly basic salary for the specific payroll month, it will not permanently change the following month's 


If the employee is permanently increasing or decreasing in their monthly basic salary, please proceed to their employee profile to change the salary in the compensation tab to record. Learn more >> How to update employee's salary rate & effective date
