Use the Departments dialog to add or delete a payroll department, or to edit information for a selected department. Using payroll departments enables you to print reports for specific groups of employees and to specify a default template if newly added employees in the department require one of your existing employee templates. If necessary, you can still select a different template when setting up employees. If you do not require departmental reporting, you can use the default department provided with the application.

To open the Departments dialog, choose Setup > Payroll Departments.
