# Improved compensation history

> Compensation history now shows more detailed information. In addition to showing when a compensation went into effect or is scheduled to go into effect, we now display the date the change was added and by whom.

## Other improvements and fixes

* Compensation changes will never override manual payroll adjustments to regular earnings. When applicable, admins now see a message telling them which manually edited pay periods won't be affected by a compensation change.
* A person's initial compensation is always aligned to their start date in the platform. If their start date changes, their initial compensation also shifts to the new start date.
* We restored the ability for admins to change the approval setting (manual or auto) on pay schedules
* The [Run payroll](https://manage.plane.com/0/payrolls/items/overview) page loads faster
* We fixed a defect that created duplicate payroll items for some people
* We resolved the issues causing an error when viewing [Payroll history](https://manage.plane.com/0/payrolls/history) for international employees

Note: Improvements to compensation history and compensation changes are available to customers using Plane's newest HR experience. Customers still using the original experience will be migrated in June.
