How Calculation Cards Work Together for the US

Personal payroll calculation cards capture info specific to a payroll relationship. Payroll runs use this info to calculate earnings and deductions.

Some actions create these cards automatically, such as hiring a person or loading data. Otherwise, you create the card manually. You can also add components to cards and enter calculation values, which could override default values. Additionally, you can associate some cards with a tax reporting unit (TRU).
