Step 1 - Open the employee's Salary tab
From the left navigation bar, go to People.
Click the employee's name to open their profile.
Select the Salary tab at the top.
If the employee has no salary set up yet, you will see No salary data available with an Add Now button. Scheduled pay components can only be viewed after a salary that includes them has been saved. If you need to assign one first, follow the steps to add scheduled pay components to an employee's salary (create a Fixed Scheduled Pay custom earning, then add it during salary setup).
Step 2 - Review the salary breakup table
On the Salary tab, the Salary Details section shows the employee's current salary breakup in a table with three columns:
Component — the earning name (for example, Joining Bonus)
Type — tags that describe the component
Amount — the annual value of the component
Scroll through this table to find any scheduled pay components. They appear alongside other CTC earnings such as Basic, HRA, and Special Allowance.
At the top of Salary Details, you can also note:
Effective From — the date from which this salary record applies
Payout From — the payroll month from which this salary is paid
Total CTC — the employee's total cost to company for this salary record
Step 3 - Identify the scheduled pay indicator
Scheduled pay components are marked in the Type column with a green Earning chip that includes a calendar icon.
To see when the amount is scheduled to be paid:
Desktop: Hover over the Earning chip.
Mobile: Tap the Earning chip.
A tooltip appears: Scheduled to be paid in the payroll of [Month Year] (for example, Scheduled to be paid in the payroll of Aug 2026).
Tip: The Amount column shows the annual value of the scheduled component. Even when the component is part of CTC, the full amount is paid out only in the scheduled payroll month, not every month.
Step 4 - Check the Earnings not in CTC section
Some scheduled pay components are configured as earnings outside CTC. If the employee has any, they appear in a separate collapsible section below the main breakup table:
Look for Earnings not in CTC (N) — where N is the number of such components.
Click the section header to expand it.
Scheduled components in this section also show the Earning chip with the calendar icon. Hover or tap the chip to view the scheduled payout month.
Step 5 - View scheduled components in past or upcoming salaries
To see scheduled pay components on a different salary record (for example, a past revision or an upcoming salary):
On the Salary tab, in the Salary Details header, click the eye icon (View All Salaries).
A dialog opens listing all salary records for the employee, with Effective From, Payout From, CTC, and status (Current, Past, or Upcoming).
Click a row to load that salary version on the Salary tab.
Review the breakup table and Earnings not in CTC section using Steps 2–4 above.
To return to the employee's latest salary, reload the Salary tab or select the record marked Current in the View All Salaries dialog.
Note: If you need to revise salary for an employee who has scheduled pay components, do it from the individual employee profile. Employees with Fixed Scheduled Pay on their latest salary cannot be included in bulk salary revision.
Step 6 - Confirm when the amount appears in payroll
Viewing the salary breakup tells you which month a scheduled component is set to pay out. To confirm the calculated amount for that month before payroll is finalized:
Go to Payroll > Run Payroll.
Select the payroll month that matches the scheduled payout month and click Run.
For the employee, click the info (i) icon to view calculated earnings for that month.
Open Payslip Preview to see the full component-wise breakdown.
How it works:
If the payroll month matches the scheduled payout month, the full scheduled amount is included in that month's earnings and appears on the payslip.
If the payroll month does not match, the scheduled component amount is ₹0 for that payroll — it is not a recurring monthly earning.
Example: A ₹50,000 joining bonus is scheduled for Aug 2026. When you run payroll for Jul 2026, the bonus does not appear. When you run payroll for Aug 2026, ₹50,000 is included in the employee's earnings.
Additional Information
Prerequisites
You must be logged in as an Admin (not HR-only) to see the Earning chip with the scheduled payout tooltip.
The employee must have at least one salary record that includes a Fixed Scheduled Pay custom earning.
A Fixed Scheduled Pay custom earning must exist in your company's salary component library before it can appear on an employee's salary.
What you won't see
HR-only users can view salary amounts but do not see the Earning schedule chip in the Type column. Ask an Admin if you need to confirm a scheduled payout date.
Contractors do not support scheduled pay components.
Scheduled components do not show a monthly recurring amount in payroll for non-scheduled months — they only pay out in the designated month.
No scheduled components visible?
If you expect a scheduled pay component but do not see an Earning chip with a calendar icon:
Confirm the component was saved on the employee's current salary (check View All Salaries for the right record).
Verify the custom earning uses Fixed Scheduled Pay as its pay type in Payroll > Salary Components > Custom Earnings.
Ensure you are viewing as an Admin, not an HR-only user.
To add or change scheduled pay components, use Update Salary or Revise Salary on the employee's Salary tab.
Editing scheduled components
To change the amount or payout month after viewing, click Update Salary on the Salary tab, edit the component on the salary breakup step, and save. To remove a scheduled component, use the delete icon next to it on the breakup page.
