Scroll to the Compensation details section and click Edit.
If you don’t see an Edit button, jump to the troubleshooting section below.

From here you can modify the compensation details including part-time or full-time schedule, annual or hourly compensation, and employee hours.
Follow the on-screen prompts, enter an effective date, and click Save to finalize your changes.
Please note that salaried employees may be eligible for overtime compensation. See: Exempt and Non-Exempt Employees to learn more.

Troubleshooting – “Edit” Button Not Visible
If you reach the Compensation details section but do not see an Edit button (only an Add button for variable compensation), review the points below:
- Permissions – Only Org Admins and Managers with the correct role permissions can edit compensation. Confirm you have the required permission set.
- Contract Status – If the employee is still onboarding, in probation, or the contract is locked for another reason, editing compensation may be temporarily disabled.
- Entity Configuration – Some local entities restrict mid-cycle salary edits. Contact Deel support if local regulations require a different process.
- UI Update – The location of the edit action may change over time. Look for an ⋮ (more options) menu in the top-right of the Compensation details card.
- Still Can’t Edit? – Open a Payroll Support request (see FAQ below) and include a screenshot of the missing button so our team can investigate.
