Editing Payslip Lines Pro / Solo

After generating payroll — but before releasing — every field on every employee's payslip line is editable. Sweldo recalculates gross and net pay live as you type. This is also where you enter holiday pay, 13th month, and manual bonuses or deductions.

🔒
Editing is only available on draft payroll runs. Once you click Release, all lines lock. There is no undo for a released payroll — corrections must be made as adjustments in the next period.

Opening the edit panel

1

Generate payroll for the period. The table appears with computed rows.

2

Click the edit (✏️) icon on an employee's row, or click anywhere on the row to expand it.

3

The row expands to show all computed fields. Any field that can be manually overridden will have an input box next to it.

What you can edit

Holiday Pay

Holiday pay is not computed automatically — Sweldo doesn't know which days you declared as holidays. Enter the amount manually in the holiday_pay field. Typical value: daily_rate × 1.0 for a regular holiday or daily_rate × 1.3 for an employee who worked on the holiday.

13th Month Pay

Typically given once a year in December. Click "Compute 13th Month" to let Sweldo calculate total_annual_basic ÷ 12 automatically from released payrolls this year, or type the amount directly. The 13th month amount is non-taxable up to ₱90,000 (BIR de minimis).

Quota Bonus

For Live Sellers who hit sales targets. Sweldo reads session data from Tagasulat if the employee is paired as a Live Seller, and you can review and adjust the computed bonus before releasing.

Manual Adjustment (+/−)

A free-form positive or negative amount with an optional note. Use this for one-off corrections: reimbursements, deductions not covered elsewhere, corrections from prior periods.

Withholding Tax

Sweldo computes this using the TRAIN Law annualized method, but you can override the value if needed (e.g., to match a manual BIR computation or adjust for a mid-year tax code change).

Statutory Deductions

SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG are computed from the employee's rate and can be overridden individually. You'd normally leave these alone unless the employee has a special contribution arrangement.

Live recalculation

Every time you change a field, Sweldo immediately recalculates the gross pay and net pay for that employee. The totals row at the bottom of the table also updates instantly. There's no Save button for individual fields — changes are held in memory until you click Release Payroll.

💡
If you regenerate payroll (by clicking Generate again), all manual edits are wiped and recomputed from attendance data. Only do this if you've corrected underlying attendance records and want a fresh computation.
