If the occurrence is set as 'Recurring', the payment item will automatically be included in the employee's wages each and every time the employee's pay is calculated. If the occurrence is set as 'Non-Recurring', the payment item will only apply on a one-off basis in the next pay calculation you run for the employee and after that it will not automatically reappear. Further, click on the Save button to save the entered data.
