The payroll items created from the BASS Payroll wages and deductions are global items in Payroll CS. This means there is a strong potential for duplication of payroll items when you convert earnings information for multiple clients.

Example: If the first client has Manager wages, the second has Mngr wages, the third has Managerial wages, and the fourth has Mgr wages, four Payroll CS global pay items will be created as a result of the conversion process when only one is actually needed.

Whenever possible, convert employee earnings only when the client is large enough to make it of great value to do so. In other cases, we would recommend converting only the employee information, without the earnings data. Then you can use the employee templates feature of Payroll CS to complete the payroll item structure for the individual employees. This allows the use of previously existing payroll items to avoid needless duplication and includes the added advantage of having the re-usable employee templates available for use on future employees. For more details, see Employee Templates [Setup menu].
