Consolidation Groups

A consolidation group enables you to process the results of more than one payroll run in a single action. It's a grouping of payroll runs within the same period for the same payroll.

Use them to produce one set of:

• Results

• Reports

• Costing groups

These are runs you make in addition to your regular payroll runs. For example, use a consolidation group to make supplemental payments to a group of employees who quit the organization.

When you use the Payroll Definitions task to create a payroll, you assign it a default consolidation group.

There are no predefined consolidation groups, so you must create them yourself.
