# How to change my employee’s compensation?

* * *

In Zoho Payroll, an employee’s **compensation** is a combination of multiple components that determine their total earnings. These include:

*   **Regular pay:** The employee’s base salary or hourly wage
*   **Benefits:** Contributions toward insurance, retirement plans, etc.
*   **Deductions:** Pre-tax or post-tax deductions such as health premiums or garnishments
*   **Sick and vacation leave policies:** Time-off entitlements that may affect compensation

You may need to update these details when an employee gets a raise, takes on a new role, becomes eligible for a benefit, or when company policies change.

To update an employee’s regular pay:

1.  Go to the **Employees** module.
2.  Click the employee’s name.
3.  Navigate to the **Compensation** tab.
4.  Click **Edit** next to _Regular Pay_.

5.  Enter the updated **Amount**.
6.  Click **Save**.

Once saved, the updated regular pay will reflect in the upcoming payrolls.
