Setting Up HQ Earn Types

HQ Earn Types group payroll earning codes (regular, overtime, double time, salary, and so on) so related pay can share the same GL account mapping. The earn types you create here are then used by PR, JC, and EM Departments to map payroll expenses to GL accounts.

Before you start​

  • Understand the consumer chain: PR Earnings Codes are assigned to HQ Earn Types, which are then mapped to GL expense accounts on PR/JC/EM Department forms (not on the HQ Earn Types form itself).

Steps​

  1. Open HQ Earn Types.
  2. Create an earn type for each GL grouping you need.
  3. Assign PR earning codes to that earn type.
  4. Map each earn type to the appropriate GL expense accounts on your PR/JC/EM Department forms (this is where the GL assignment happens, not on the HQ Earn Types form).

Notes​

  • The HQ Earn Types form groups earning codes but does not assign GL accounts directly. GL expense account mapping is done on the PR, JC, and EM Department forms by earn type.
  • Misassigned earn types send payroll expense to the wrong accounts.

Tips​

  • For detailed tracking, use a one-to-one relationship between PR earning codes and HQ earn types.
