# How can I add one-time deductions to my employees every month?

You can add one-time deductions to your employees while processing your monthly pay runs.

*   Go to the **Pay Runs** tab.
*   Click **Create Pay Run** or **View Details** if you already have a draft pay run.
*   Click next to the employee name, scroll down and click **+Add Deduction** from the side panel.
*   Choose the post-tax deduction from the drop down and enter an amount. You have to configure the component through **Settings > Salary Components** for it to show up here.
*   Click **Save**.

Alternately, you can import one-time deduction by uploading a XLS or CSV file.

*   Click **Import/Export > One-time Earnings and Deductions**.
*   Upload your CSV or XLS file containing the one-time deduction details. You can view a sample file to make sure that you’ve entered the data in the correct format.
*   Select the Character Encoding and File Delimiter.
*   Click **Next**.
*   Map the Zoho Payroll fields with the columns in your import file.
*   Click **Next**.
*   View the import preview and click the **Import button**.

The deduction will be added to the pay run once you click Apply Changes.
