How do I raise my employee's wage?

This article explains how to increase an employee's wage in Salary.lu when only the salary amount changes without any contract modifications.

Use this procedure only for simple wage increases. If other contract details change (working hours, contract type, etc.), use the "Renew" method in the Contract tab instead.

Steps to raise an employee's wage

Log in to your Salary.lu dashboard
Go to the "Employees" section
Click on the employee whose wage you want to increase
Navigate to the "Contracts" tab
Locate the active contract and click on the 3 vertical dots (⋮) next to it
Select "+ Wage" from the dropdown menu
Fill in the required fields
Click "Create" to save the wage increase

When the wage increase takes effect

The wage increase will be applied starting from the effective date you specified.

Make sure to:

Set the correct effective date for the wage increase
Verify that the new wage amount is accurate
Generate new payslips for periods after the effective date

After creating the wage increase, the system will automatically use the new wage amount for all payroll calculations from the effective date forward.
