Overview
The earnings within a single payment can be edited on the Payment Details page. For earnings to be editable, the associated pay run must be in the 'Ready to Calculate' or 'Calculated' status.
If a payment contains only earnings populated through one-time payments that are set to be paid 'As Soon As Possible', additional earnings cannot be added on the Payment Details page. Additional earnings can be added by editing the one-time payment instead.
For step-by-step instructions for editing deductions, refer to the Add or Edit Deductions on Payments article.
Earning Groups
Each time an earning is added to a payment, it is listed as a single entry. Earning entries are grouped and totaled when they share all of the following:
Type
Location
Job
Rate
The top level of the earning group is not editable, and represents the line item that will appear on paystubs. Editing any earnings in the earning group will update the total for the group.
Time-Based and Cost-Based Earnings
Time-based earning types are associated with a specific job, and are calculated based on pay rate and hours. When editing time-based earning types, only the hours will be editable. When adding time-based earning types, the job, rate, and hours must be entered.
Cost-based earning types are calculated as a flat amount. When editing cost-based earning types, only the amount will be editable. When adding cost-based earning types, only the amount must be entered.
Earning Corrections and Negative Earnings
Earning corrections can be used to correct earning errors from previous payments. Entering a negative amount for an earning will create an earning correction, and the employee's net earnings will be decreased. Earning corrections must match the earning type and job of the earning error, and cannot reduce the year-to-date (YTD) amount of the earning associated with the selected job below zero.
Contact R365 Support to make adjustments to earnings paid in prior quarters. See the Payroll Corrections Guide for more information.
Saving Changes
Edits made to earnings are not automatically saved. The 'Save Changes' button will save any changes made and recalculate the payment. When the '< Pay Run Details' button at the top of the page is clicked, the user will be prompted to save or discard changes. Navigating away from the Payment Details page in any other manner will discard all changes.
When edits are saved, the payment will be recalculated for deductions, taxes, and MTD/YTD totals.
Security
Users with the following permission will be able to add and edit earnings and deductions:
Payroll → Workforce Payroll → Payments → Edit Payments
For users without this permission, the 'Add Earnings' and 'Save Changes' buttons are hidden, and earning-specific information is not editable.
