Payroll Categories Overview

Payroll Table of Contents > Payroll Categories Overview

A paycheque normally consists of five elements: wages, entitlements, deductions, taxes and employer expenses. Collectively, these elements are referred to as payroll categories. Before you begin paying employees, you'll create the payroll categories that are used by your business and are required by law, and then you'll assign each employee the payroll categories that apply to him or her. Then, when you use the Pay Employees window to pay an employee, the payroll categories you've assigned to the employee will automatically determine the various amounts that are associated with the paycheque.
