Set Up Pay Groups

Use the Pay Groups screen to define pay periods for groups of employees paid at the same frequency as specified in the Pay Periods Per Year field which you will see on this screen. Information on adding Employer Information may also be found on Pages 19-20 of the Online Payroll User Guide.

Once you have filled out this screen and assigned a Pay Group to each employee, you may then select employees to be paid or payroll reports to be printed by Pay Group.

ParishSOFT Payroll uses the Pay Periods Per Year field to annualize the gross pay, deductions, and benefits for each employee and use the Federal and State Annual Tax tables to determine applicable taxes; then it de-annualizes the amounts for the current payroll.

Some possible Pay Group categories are:

Hourly/Salary

Weekly/Monthly

Full-time/Part-time
