What is Pay Entry?

Pay Entry is a record representing a known in advance payment to the staff. Usually, the amount is complicated that cannot be calculated by payroll formula (e.g. Commission). When you can always modify the pay amount directly in payroll, recording them as Pay Entry has the benefit that it will always be there even after recalculation.

For pay amounts that can be calculated (e.g. leave payment, late deduction), we would suggest going back to the standard formula.
