Set Up Employee Pay Categories

What are employee pay categories?

Recurring employee allowances and deductions are set up by creating a Payroll Category and adding it to an employee through this screen.

For Annual Leave, RDO, Long Service Leave and Sick Leave, corresponding Accrual accounts (Entitlements) also have to be added. The leave accrued each week will reflect against the Entitlement category in the pay. When utilised, the leave will reflect against the Wages category.

Information about each category chosen is then displayed in the lower section of the Pay Setup screen when the category is highlighted. This information includes calculation methods and rates.

Note: The Payroll system has many categories already setup. These can be added to or modified in Payroll Admin – Categories.
