How to Translate Payslip and Cheque Advice

The employee's correspondence language determines if the payslip and cheque advice are generated in English or Canadian French.

The attributes you can translate include:

Balance Name
Position Name
Job Name
Tax Reporting Unit Name
Payroll Name
Salary Basis Name

Attributes that are translated automatically include:

Cheque Net Pay in words
Payroll Period Type
Accrual Plan Category

Note: To generate the output in Canadian French, a user with a language preference of English must run the payroll archiver. This is because the archiver needs to archive all balances in English as the default language.

The sections below show how you can set the user preferred language and the employee's correspondence language to Canadian French.
