- When to use this article: HR Admin wants to pay a fixed monthly amount (e.g. a device reimbursement) over a set number of months, possibly with a smaller last payment.
- Open the employee profile > Compensation tab.
- Under Fixed remunerations, add the pay item and the monthly amount.
- Set the start date and end date (e.g. 24 months).

- Q: The final instalment is different from the others — how do I set that up?
A: End the recurring item one month earlier and add a one-off item for the final month. Example:
1. Device reimbursement item — effective 1 Jan 2026 to 30 Nov 2027, RM150.
2. Device reimbursement item — effective 1 Dec 2027 to 31 Dec 2027, RM120.
