Managing Paycodes


In this topic

Introduction

This topic describes how to view the available paycodes on an account or add a new paycode to an account.

A paycode represents a type of payment that you can make to your employees. A large number of preconfigured paycode templates are available for you to add to your account. There are three steps required to make a new paycode available in your payroll:

  1. Add the new paycode to your account
  2. Assign the new paycode to a Payment Group(s)
  3. Assign the paycode to an employee(s)

For information about assigning a paycode to a Payment Group, refer to the Managing Payment Groups help topic. For information about assigning Paycodes to an employee, refer to the Managing Employee Payment Details help topic.
