# How do I enter Basic Pay?

Basic pay is entered directly on the PayRun page for each employee. Hours/number
and rate amounts for Basic pay may be entered or changed at any time. If the
employee is paid a fixed wage, i.e. £200 per week it is possible to enter this
by entering 1 in the Hours/No column and £200 in the Rate column. Alternatively
it can be paid as an hourly rate i.e. 40 Hours at a rate of £5.
