Pay Comp/Deduct Creator

Overview

The Compensation Creator can be used to create a group of bonus checks or compensations. The Compensation Creator automates the process of creating bonus or compensation checks that are usually performed once a quarter, or at year end. Using the Compensation Creator creates the actual Compensation checks or creates just the compensation record in the Employee Master File in order to include the compensation in the next check run.

The Deduction Creator can be used to create a group of deductions. Using the Deduction Creator, creates the actual Deduction checks or just the deduction records in the Employee Master File in order to include in the next check run.

Note:  The Deduction Creator does not handle garnishments. Learn more about setting up garnishments.

Both the Compensation Creator and Deduction Creator import records using an xls file. There is a standard import and an expanded import.

To import records using multiple Codes (must be either Compensations or Deductions) the Employee Master File must be the Destination.

The Pay Comp/Deduct Creator can also be used to pay employee expenses through payroll, rather than through Accounts Payable. To support this functionality, the expanded import file needs to be used.

Compensations and Deductions can be verified by going to each Employee Master File, and then clicking the Other Comps/Deds button.

The Pay Comp/Deduct Creator can be accessed from the Payroll menu, provided the proper security rights are set up.
