A recurring adjustment is created once and then repeats on a schedule you define. Use it for any repeating addition or deduction that is not part of the employee’s base salary - such as a monthly internet allowance or an ongoing advance repayment.

​
What Are Recurring Adjustments?

You set the employee, amount, frequency, and duration once, and the adjustment is scheduled to repeat - so you do not have to re-create the same adjustment every period. Examples:
  • Monthly internet allowance - a fixed addition every month.
  • Salary advance repayment - a fixed deduction every month for a set number of months.

​
Creating a Recurring Adjustment

Recurring adjustments are created on the same Create Adjustment page as one-time ones:
1

Open the Create Adjustment page

Open the Payroll Adjustments page (/employer/pay/adjustments) and click Create Adjustment.
2

Switch to Recurring

At the top of the page, switch the toggle from One-time to Recurring.
3

Fill in the standard fields

Fill in the standard fields: Employee, Category (Addition or Deduction), Type, Name, Amount, and optional Currency and Notes.
4

Fill in the Recurring Schedule

Fill in the Recurring Schedule fields (below).
5

Create

Click Create Adjustment.

​
Recurring schedule fields

For a salary advance repaid in equal installments, set Total Occurrences to the number of installments. For example, to recover a 30,000 advance at 5,000 per month, set the amount to 5,000 and Total Occurrences to 6.
Only Monthly, Bi-weekly, and Weekly frequencies are available. There is no quarterly, half-yearly, or annual option. For a less frequent repeating payment, create individual one-time adjustments on the dates you need.

​
How Recurring Adjustments Apply

Each time the schedule comes due, the recurring adjustment generates an individual adjustment for that period, which then flows into payroll like any other adjustment. The generated adjustment’s detail view notes which recurring schedule it came from.
A generated occurrence follows the same approval rule as any adjustment: if its amount is above your approval threshold, it needs approval before it is included in a run. See Adjustment Approval.

​
Changing or Stopping a Recurring Adjustment

There is no self-serve screen today for pausing, resuming, or cancelling a recurring schedule, and the generated occurrences are not shown as a separate “Recurring” tab on the Payroll Adjustments page. To change the amount, pause it, or stop it early, contact Omnivoo support. You can still manage each generated occurrence individually from the Payroll Adjustments list - for example, deleting an upcoming occurrence while it is still in draft, pending approval, or approved status. See Adding Adjustments for how individual adjustments are reviewed and deleted.
