How do I assign a salary?
- Click Add Salary. The Assign Salary structure to Employees wizard opens ("Assign a salary structure to one or more employees"), with Help and Cancel at the top and three steps — Scope, Salary Structure, Review & Assign.
- Scope — under Assignment Scope, choose the Location (required — employees are listed only after you pick one), and optionally Departments and Designation, then click Apply Filters (Clear Filters resets them). Search by name or code, tick the employees, and click Next.
- Salary Structure — choose the Salary Template, enter the Gross Salary (per month) and the Effective From date. For a template with Auto-Calculation off, enter each earning's amount instead. The earnings and deductions breakdown appears.
- Review & Assign — check the employees, template, gross, total earnings, total deductions and net monthly pay, then click Assign Salary.
You can also start from Salary → Overview → Unassigned Employees → Assign, with the employees already selected.
