Adding a component
- In the pay setup sheet, click Add earning or Add deduction.
- Give it a Name and pick a Category.
- Choose a Rate type:
- Fixed — a fixed naira amount each pay period.
- Percent — a percentage of either the gross pay or the basic salary.
- Enter the amount or percentage rate.
- Click Save.
You can add as many components as the staff member needs. The sheet shows the computed gross and net at the bottom.
Edit or remove a component
Click the pencil icon next to any component to edit it, or the bin icon to delete it. Changes apply from the next payroll run — they do not retroactively change finalized runs.
