Key points

Pay items (earnings and deductions) are the additional earnings and deductions in an employee's pay, on top of their normal salary or wages
Once you've created a pay item, you can modify or delete it
To change which pay items are assigned to your employees, see Assigning pay items to employees

OK, let's take you through it:

To modify a pay item

Go to the Payroll menu and choose Pay items. The Pay items page appears.
If required, choose whether to display Active Pay Items, Deleted Pay Items or All Pay Items.
Click the ellipsis button next to the earning or deduction and choose Edit.
Make your changes to the pay item. For details of the fields and options in a pay item, see Creating pay items.
Click Save.

To modify an employee's deduction amount (New Zealand)

When you create a deduction, you'll set a default amount per pay. But you can override this and set a custom deduction amount for an employee. Changing the amount for one employee doesn't change the amount for other employees.

From the Payroll menu, choose Employees.
Click the employee's name.
Click the Pay items - earnings & deductions tab.
Change the Amount for the deduction to be modified.
Click Save.

To delete a pay item

Deleting a pay item will also remove it from any incomplete pay runs, but it'll still be available for reporting.

Go to the Payroll menu and choose Pay items. The Pay items page appears.
If required, choose whether to display Active Pay Items or All Pay Items.
Click the ellipsis button next to the earning or deduction and choose Delete.
Read the displayed message about the impact of deleting the pay item.
Click Delete.

FAQs

What if the amount of a pay item varies between employees?

If you're in New Zealand, you can set a different amount for employee deductions when assigning pay items.

Otherwise you can either:

create a single pay item with a zero amount, assign it to your employees, then enter the amount against the pay item when you do a pay run, or
create separate pay items for each employee.
