For Description, type "Advance Salary"
Under Category, select "Salary" from the dropdown list

Adding the pay item to the Payroll

Select the Payment Period and Employees
Scroll and click Begin Payroll Generation
Once the payroll has been processed, you can click on Edit.
Click +Add More Pay Items and select Advance Salary on the employee's payslip
You will still be able to edit the pay item at this stage if you wish
From here, follow the same processes as you would go through in normal payroll generation
