- Click on the Staff Member's name and click on the **Payroll** tab
- From here, you are able to add an **Hourly Rate** as well as **Event Based Rates**  
    - ***Note:** Hourly Rates are useful for any staff member who needs to [clock in and clock out](https://dbathubhelp.upperhand.com/clock-in-and-clock-out?hsLang=en) and keep track of their time worked. Event Based Rates are useful for setting rates based on a staff member working specific events.*
- To add an **Hourly Rate**: 
    - Click the blue **Add** button where it says **Hourly Rate**
    - Input the desired rate and click **Save.**
- To add an **Event Based Rate**: 
    - Click **Add Rate**
    - Type in the search bar the event you want to tie the rate to. ***Note:** You can add as many events as necessary if they have the same rate.*
    - Select the Value Type of the rate, either **Amount** or **Percentage**
    - Input the Value
    - Check the box for **Discount-sensitive rate** if you would like the rate to automatically adjust if any discounts or coupons are applied.
    - Click **Save.**
