How to Create a Custom Pay Item in BrioHR

Why Do You Need to Create a Custom Pay Item?

In BrioHR, there is a default list of available pay items set according to local statutory rules and regulations. However, there may be times when you need to create a custom item because you cannot edit the existing default item to fit your company's specific processes.

Therefore, creating a custom pay item is your only option to address this situation.

NOTE:

Before creating a custom payslip item to use in payroll, it is advisable to check if similar items already exist in the Default Payslip Items list provided by BrioHR.

1. Once logged into your BrioHR account, click on the HR Lounge icon and select Payroll.

2. Next, click on Settings and select the Salary Allocation & Default Items field as highlighted in the sample screenshot below.

3. Click on the +Create Custom Item icon as shown below.

4. A pop-up (Create Custom Item) will appear. Fill in all the relevant fields and click Submit to save your changes.

NOTE:

Ensure you select the correct options when creating a custom payslip item. Choosing the wrong option may affect payroll calculations.
