Extra Pay

If you want to pay an employee an extra amount on a particular payslip, but it is not part of their regular income, you can use the Extra Pay system item. For example, an employee was underpaid in the previous pay period, or they had a salary change in the middle of a pay period. Instead of editing their basic salary, you can make use of the extra pay item for the additional amount on a particular payslip.

Consider a custom income item

Before adding the Extra Pay system item, consider using a custom income item instead as it offers more in-depth customisation options. More information on Custom Items is available here.

To add the Extra Pay system item:

1. Go to an employee's profile, and click on Add next to Payslip Inputs.
2. Click on Extra Pay under Income.
3. Enter the Amount, and click Save.

Add a payslip note

As the name of this system item is generic and does not provide much information, we suggest using custom items (as noted above). However, if you choose to use the extra pay item, you can use our payslip notes to add important information about the extra pay – directly on the payslip. More information on Payslip Notes is available here.
