This article explains how to edit an employee's paygrade when existing information has changed and you don't want to create a new paygrade or add them to an existing paygrade. There are two methods to edit a paygrade:

Method 1: Edit Paygrade from Employee Profile

  • Click on People in the main menu.

  • Select Employees from the list of options.

  • Find the employee whose paygrade you want to edit and click View.

  • On the Job and Pay tab, navigate to Compensation Breakdown.

  • Click Edit Paygrade.

  • The employee paygrade tab will open.

Important Note: Editing a paygrade will affect all employees assigned to that paygrade. Consider Creating new paygrades for employees who shouldn't be affected by the changes.

Method 2: Edit Paygrade Directly

To edit the paygrade directly, follow the steps below:

  • Head to the Menu on the left side of the screen and scroll down to find Compensation.

  • Scroll to Payroll and click the downward arrow.

  • Select Configuration.

  • Click Paygrades at the top of your screen.

  • Navigate to the Paygrade that will be edited and click on the dotted lines(...) next to it.

  • Choose Edit from the list of options.

To Edit your paygrades using either method, enter the following information:

  • Select Payband: choose the appropriate payband from the list if it applies to this paygrade. If no payband fits or you're not using paybands, simply leave this field blank.

  • Paygrade name: Edit the name of your paygrade.

  • Alias: an optional, employee-friendly name that will appear on their profiles. Leave this blank if it doesn't apply.

  • Currency: Select the currency used for salaries in this paygrade.

  • Annual pay: Enter the new annual pay

    • Select Gross if this amount includes taxes and statutory deductions.

    • Select Net if this paygrade will have zero deductions.

  • Taxable status: choose whether to apply standard tax calculations or input your tax calculation method, such as a percentage of gross earnings or a specific tax amount.

  • Use the search bar to select remove or add allowances to the paygrade.

  • Customize each allowance and establish calculations (percentage or specific amount).

  • Choose the pay schedule for allowance distribution

  • Use the search bar to select the tax relief to be attached to this paygrade.

  • Customize each tax relief.

  • Select the statutory benefits linked to the paygrade.
