Add Third Party Payees

To add a custom payee:

1. Go to Payroll Setup > Third Party Payees.
2. Click Add and enter a name and description.

5. Leave the Active checkbox selected, or clear it if you don't want to make the payee available for use yet.
6. In the Assign To field, select Earning or Deduction, or both to determine whether the payee can be used with earnings, deductions, or both.
7. In the Reference Code field, enter a cross-reference code. Cross-reference codes are used by Dayforce, usually in exports and imports, to integrate into other applications and systems used by your organization.
8. In the Address section, enter the address details of the payee.
9. In the Payment Method section, select an option in the Method drop-down list. See Payment Methods for Payees.
10. In the Parameters section, add one or more parameters to the payee. See Add Parameters to Payees.
