Pay your employees for hours worked at a specific pay rate.

Updated February 19, 2026

Click the Payroll tab in the left navigation menu
Locate the employee whose pay rate you want to change
Click the Edit icon (pencil) next to the employee's pay rate (reminder multiple pay rate needs to be entered already in the employee profile).
Select a pay rate from the drop-down menu
1. Click "Add" - this will create a second paycheck for the employee at a different pay rate
2. Click "Change" - this will modify the pay rate on the current paycheck
Enter your employee's hours and earnings at that specific pay rate
Click Save & Continue to run payroll as usual 😀
