Adjust Employee Salary in QuickBooks Payroll

What does Adjust Employee Salary mean in Quickbooks? 

An employee who receives a salary rather than an hourly wage is one who is compensated for their work on a set period. Regardless of how many hours they put in during a workweek, they get paid the full amount they were promised. Salary workers often get a regular, weekly, or total salary.
