  • Hi Zoya

     

    Thank you for your post. I would recommend checking to see if the wage category created for the meal allowance has Automatically Adjust Base Hourly or Base salary details option ticked. If it does, this is why the gross would be adjusting as when this option is selected and amounts are entered the base/salary amount will adjust automatically. You'll need to untick this.
