Configurations Necessary for Payroll Administration
As a payroll administrator, you might need to make some additional configurations to suit the needs of your organization. These can involve configurations for the organization such as creating new pay categories, or pay groups and pay periods, or creating new pay codes. It could also mean creating new work assignments. Other configurations might involve employee changes, such as the need to update employee direct deposit information or set up payroll cards. It could also entail needing to enter garnishments, or to change deductions or earnings or to add new taxes to employees.
