Setting Up PR Groups

PR Groups are used to organize employees into distinct payroll cycles, allowing for tailored payroll processing based on different pay frequencies and security requirements.

Before you start

• Understanding of the organization's payroll structure and requirements.

Steps

1. Navigate to thePR Groupsform.
2. Create a new group by entering a unique group name.
3. Assign a payroll frequency to the group (weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly).
4. Specify the GL accrual account for expense accruals across multiple months.
5. Set the CM account or cash account for payments from this group.
6. Check the option to attach GL ledger update reports to the pay period for audit purposes.
7. On the liabilities tab, add any payroll liabilities that should appear on checks or EFT stubs, such as the 401k match.
8. On the leave codes tab, assign leave codes if PTO balances need to be printed on checks or EFT stubs.
9. Configure the group security tab to control which users can access employee records within this group.

Notes

• The correct payroll frequency is assigned to avoid processing errors.
• Be cautious when setting up group security to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive employee data.
