Guidelines for setting up earnings, deductions, and benefits

We recommend that you use the simplest settings when adding new earning and deduction codes in Payroll.

Best practice is to add a unique earning or deduction code for each pay frequency. For example, set up the earning codes SALWK for weekly salary pay, SALBI for biweekly, and SALMO for monthly, and then create a different profile for each earning code. If an employee's pay frequency changes, you can use the profile that corresponds to the employee's new pay frequency.

Note: For more information about profiles, see Setting up employee configuration.
