PayFit aims to provide the simplest way to keep track of salary changes and automatically calculate the base pay for the month, even if the salary change is effective part-way through the current or previous month.
Note: PayFit only calculates one salary change each month. If the employee has a second salary change in the same month, you'll need to temporarily override the base pay. For further information, please refer to the section below.
Changing an employee's salary
From the employee's record, click the Employment tab.
Under the Contract section, click Salary change history.
Click Add new salary.
Enter the new salary, the effective date of the change and select the reason for the change.
Click Save.
You can choose any date in the current or previous month. PayFit automatically backdates the calculations. For more information about backdated salary changes, please refer to our Help Centre article.
Temporarily override the base pay
In the following scenarios, you may need to temporarily override the employee's base pay:
Their work pattern has changed (a work pattern change has no effective date, meaning a mid-month change can't be calculated correctly).
Their salary change is temporary.
They have more than one salary change in the same month.
To temporarily override the base pay:
From the left, choose Run my payroll, then Salaries & variations.
Click the employee's base pay.
Enter the temporary Base pay value, and add a Reason for overwriting the value.
Click Save.
The new base pay appears both on the payslip breakdown, and the employee's payslip.
