Payroll Bonus & Manual Adjustments
Last updated: 8/28/2026
Payroll Bonus & Manual Adjustments
You can add one-time bonuses or manual deductions to any employee's payroll record without re-running the full calculation.
When to Use
- End-of-year bonus for specific employees
- Disciplinary deduction (not covered by a recurring deduction type)
- Ad-hoc allowance for a specific month only
How to Apply
- Go to Payroll → select a payroll period (must be in Processing or Approved status)
- Find the employee row in the records table
- Click the Adj button (wrench icon) at the end of the row
- Enter the Bonus amount and/or Manual Deduction amount
- Add an optional note for audit purposes
- Click Save Adjustment
Effect on Payroll
The system automatically recalculates the employee's net salary:
Net = Gross + Bonus - Total Deductions - Manual Deduction
Note: Adjustments apply on top of the calculated values. Re-calculating the payroll will overwrite bonus and manual deduction amounts.
