Setting up client payroll departments

Show expandable text

Payroll departments are client-specific and are used for reporting purposes and to distribute certain payroll setup information to individual employees. Even if the client does not actually have multiple departments, you can use departments to group employees who work in different physical locations or who represent different job families

To set up payroll departments for a client, follow these steps.

  1. Choose Setup > Departments.
  2. In the Departments screen, click the Add button.
  3. In the Identification section, enter a unique description for the department in the Description field.
  4. Click Enter to save the department information.

Note: When you add employees for this client, the departments you have added to this screen become available to select from the Department column drop-down list in the Locations and departments section in the Main tab of the Setup > Employees screen.
