How to Add a One-Time Earning or Deduction to an Employee's Paycheck

Adding a one-time earning or deduction to an employee's record is a common task in payroll management. This allows you to account for specific additional payments or deductions that are not part of the regular salary or wages.

Here are the steps to add a one-time earning or deduction to an employee:

Enter the earning/deduction to the employee on the time entry grid.


1. Log in to isolved and navigate to "PAYROLL PROCESSING"


2. Click "Payroll Entry" > "Time Entry Grid"


3. Select "ALL" from the Template dropdown.
The default template will generally show just the common earning types that are used with every pay period. To display additional earnings, you have to choose all from the dropdown.


4. Click "Apply"


5. Select the cell for the earning you want to apply and enter the amount or hours
Once you have filled in the required details, the information will be automatically saved. 


It is highly recommended to take a moment to review the data entered and confirm that the one-time earning or deduction has been added correctly. Check for any discrepancies or errors, and make any necessary adjustments.
To do so, follow these steps:

1. Click "Process Payroll"


2. Click "Preview"


3. Select "Payroll Register" dropdown.


4. Click "Go"


5. Verify that the added earning/deduction displays correctly on the employees paycheck.




It's important to inform the employee about the one-time earning or deduction that has been added to their record. This can be done through a direct conversation, email, or a written communication. Provide the employee with clear explanations regarding the reason for the one-time earning or deduction, as well as how it will impact their overall compensation.
