Use cost centres, also known as payroll categories, to group sets of employees together. All employees must be linked to a category, which is linked to a template that holds details about the frequency of the payroll — such as weekly or monthly.
You can link all employees to one category, which is linked to a single template.
For example:
Category | Template | |
---|---|---|
Employee 1 | Monthly | Monthly |
Employee 2 | Monthly | Monthly |
In more complex scenarios, you can separate employees into departments:
Category | Template | |
---|---|---|
Employee 1 | Humanities | Monthly |
Employee 2 | IT and Computer Science | Monthly |
You can use a category to create a subset of employees within a payroll, which can then control issues such as regular payment profiles and general ledger integration. In this way, the category acts as a means to control the cost centre integration to the general ledger.
