「Salary Type」will affect your method to calculate basic salary , which includes yearly, monthly, daily and hourly.

Eg：
If there is an employee’s salary type is monthly, and the basic salary is HKD 18,500. Then, select monthly from 「Salary Type」, and input HKD 18,500 in 「Basic Salary」of the Employment & Payroll Information interface.
If there is an employee’s salary type is hourly, and the hourly pay is 80 HKD. Then, select hourly from 「Salary Type」, and input 100 in 「Basic Salary」of the Employment & Payroll Information interface.

Payroll Module
Your setting of 「Leave Policy」decides your pay cycles (weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc.).
If you once preset/input 「Fixed Pay Items/Variable Pay Items」,which will be added to pay run.
「Fixed Pay Items」refer to a fixed monthly allowance, such as a fixed monthly communication allowance of 500 HKD, etc.
