Pay Codes / Job Title

  1. To create a new Pay Code:

    1. Name: Click the top (blank) line and enter a name for the Pay Code, like “Admin Assistant”.
    2. GL Account: Assign it to an expense account number from your Chart of Accounts, like “5050.00 Payroll – Administration”.
    3. Overtime: By default, new positions are marked to qualify for overtime pay. If this position does not qualify for overtime (for example, because it will be a benefit, like “Personal Time Off”), then remove the check mark from the Pay OT box.
    4. Active: In most cases, the Active box should be checked, indicating this is a current position that is actively in use and available to assign to employees.
    5. Tap Enter (on your keyboard) until a new blank line appears and continue adding new Pay Codes.
  2. Use the Up & Down arrows to change their order as needed, then click Save > Exit.

Next Steps

  2. Assign Pay Codes to each person.
