Add Wage Entry¶
Use this page to record a wage entry for an employee in CTB Admin. A wage entry tracks the number of products produced by an employee, calculates their wage based on production quantity, and records any deductions, bonuses, and payment status. Wage entries are used to manage employee compensation tied to production output.

Tips
- Employee is required — You must select an employee before saving
- Product is required — Select the product associated with the production output
- Default wage applies when Wage is 0 — If no wage is entered, the system uses the product's default wage rate
- Net Wage updates automatically — It recalculates whenever Quantity, Wage, Bonus, or Deductions are changed
- Toggle Is Paid only when payment is confirmed — Setting Is Paid without a Payment Date may cause reporting inconsistencies
- Deductions reduce Net Wage — Enter deductions carefully as they directly reduce the employee's final payment
- Date affects payroll reporting — The entry date determines which pay period this wage record appears in
