Fixing payroll variances and adjustments

How to add an adjustment (correction, retroactive raise, bonus) to the current or next payroll.

When to use adjustments vs revisions

A one-time add or deduct on the next payroll. Doesn't change the employee's base CTC.

Use for: missed reimbursements, signing bonus, performance bonus, salary correction.

A permanent change to the employee's CTC structure. Effective from a specific date.

Use for: promotion, annual hike, transferring to a new band.

1. Employees → [employee] → Adjustments → Add new

2. Pick the head (e.g., "Performance Bonus", "Mobile Reimbursement")

3. Enter the amount + reason

4. Choose taxability (taxable / partially exempt / fully exempt)

5. Save

It appears in next month's payroll automatically.

1. Employees → [employee] → Compensation → Revise

2. Effective date (typically 1st of next month)

3. Edit individual heads OR change the gross CTC and let the system rebalance

4. Save → revision goes into Approvals queue (unless you're an HR_HEAD with override)

The new structure kicks in from the effective date. Past months remain unaffected.
