From either your Payrolls page or from a specific payroll period, you can use the pay variable insert pop-up to enter pay items, overtime, and basic hours to your employees more quickly and easily. 

After clicking on the Insert (+) button in the functions bar whilst having the pay items, overtime, or basic hours tabs open, the pop-up window will appear, allowing you to choose the pay item, the effective date, the amount, contributions, references, and cost centres for the selected employee from your payroll roster. 

You can use the Add another checkbox to add more additional pay items for the selected employee. When this box is ticked, the window will refresh after you click Save, allowing you to add a new pay variable for the selected employee.

Untick the Add another box to have the window close after saving the last pay variable.
