# Add pay supplements for your employees
The Pay Supplements module on our platform allows you, as an employer, to add, edit, and track pay supplements. You can choose from different pay supplement options to best describe the compensation you are providing.
**Note:** The pay supplement of employees can be added or edited before the cut-off date of their respective pay cycle. After the cut-off date, the details are locked, and no further modifications can be made.
