Payslip

We have had an increase in the hourly pay rate.

On the payslip, under 'Pay Details' the old hourly rate is showing. Under 'Pay Items' the new hourly rate is showing.

I changed the hourly rate to the new rate when I did the pay run for each employee. I then finished the pay run. I then realised I had not changed the pay rate under 'Émployees' - Pay setup, meaning when the pay run was finished the old rate was still in pay setup. Is this why the two pay rate figures are different on the payslip?

The new pay rate has been used to calculate pays so no issue with that. Can I do something to change the pay slip so all pay rates are correct?

    Hi @Sue MacKenzie

    Yes you're on the right track, when you change the rate of earning item within the pay run, it only changes it for that specific pay run and not the default that has been setup in the employee's Pay Setup.

    This allows you to make edits on the fly for a specific pay run without changing the ongoing default settings. In order to change the rate on a permanent basis, you can do so within the employee pay setup.


    I've added an example below where you'll see I've changed the rate for the ordinary earning item within the pay run just for that specific pay run. And the second is where I've changed the rate within the employee's pay setup.

    Thanks for your help Rav. So the only way I can get the payslips to show the same pay rate is to undo the finished pay run, then do the pay run again?
