Pay groups group together payees whose pay is to be processed together in the same pay batch. For example, payees who have the same employment type and have the same pay frequency can be grouped into the same pay group and can therefore be payrolled together in a single pay batch for each pay period.
To create and process a pay batch in the Portal > Pay module, you must select the pay group that defines which group of payees are to be payrolled within the pay batch. Before payees can be assigned to a pay group and before a pay batch can be created for a pay group, the pay group must be created under Portal > Pay > Maintenance > Pay Group.
Note
A payee is assigned to a pay group by selecting the relevant pay group in the Pay Group field on the Portal > Pay > Payee > Payee Maintenance > Payee Entry > Employment/Payslip Details screen.
A payee can only belong to a single pay group at any given time. However, a payee can be assigned to different pay groups during different pay periods.
When working with pay groups, you should be familiar with the following concepts:
pay frequencies pay periods
pay period statuses.
These concepts are described in detail below.
