Setting Up Employee Pay Types

Employee pay types are parts of pay. You can set up employee pay types in the payroll system in different ways. The employee pay types for labor expense allocation depend on how detailed you want your payroll expense allocation to be. For example, pay components might include different taxes, but for allocation, you can group them under a single pay type like Direct FICA Tax.

Creating Employee Pay Types

Create new employee pay types from the Employee Pay Type page.

To create an employee pay type:

1. Go to Expense Management > Setup > Set Up Employee Pay Types > New.

2. In the Employee Pay Type field, enter the name of the employee pay type.

   Upon saving the record, the same value entered in this field is copied to the Name field.

3. From the Expense Allocation Account list, select the account from which you want to debit labor expense allocation.

   You must select an account other than bank account or credit card account.

   For more information, read the topic Creating Accounts.

4. (Optional) To make the employee pay type available for allocation, check the Include for Allocation box.

5. Click Save.
