Editing Pay Run Entries
## Editing Pay Run Entries
After creating a pay run, you can adjust individual employee entries before approving.
### What You Can Edit
Click the **Edit** button on any employee row to open the editor:
- **Hours Worked** — For hourly employees, adjust the actual hours worked this period
- **Hourly Rate** — Override the employee's default rate for this period
- **Overtime Pay** — Additional pay for overtime hours
- **Bonus** — One-off bonus payments
- **Commission** — Sales commission or similar variable pay
- **Other Additions** — Any other additional payments (with a note field to describe them)
- **Pre-Tax Deductions** — Salary sacrifice or other pre-tax deductions
- **Other Deductions** — Post-tax deductions like loan repayments
### Automatic Recalculation
When you save changes to an entry, the system automatically recalculates:
- Gross pay
- Taxable pay (gross minus pension if applicable)
- PAYE tax
- National Insurance
- Student loan deductions
- Net pay
- Pay run totals
### Bulk Recalculate
If you need to recalculate all entries (for example, after updating an employee's tax code), click the **Recalculate All** button on the pay run detail page. This recalculates every entry from scratch using the latest employee data.
### Important Notes
- You can only edit entries while the pay run is in **Draft** status
- Once approved, entries cannot be changed. Revert to draft first if corrections are needed
- Editing an entry does not change the employee's master record — it only affects this pay period
