Employee pay groups are used to group employees together based on how often they are paid.  For example, employees who are paid twice a month could be defined as Group 1: Semi-Monthly, while employees who are paid monthly could be Group 2, monthly.

To set up a Group:

1. Click on the “+” sign at the bottom of the screen.
2. Enter in the Group# (alpha-numeric field that can be up to 4 characters) and Group Name (1-30 characters).
3. Add the group number to the employee in the Employee Master Maintenance screen.
4. The start Payroll Cycle screen will ask which group(s) to automatically select for payment.
5. When a payroll cycle is started, the system will automatically add the employees to the payroll cycle based on the pay group code selected to pay.
