Setting up Pay Types

AgExpert Accounting has several default pay types already set up for use, but there may be situations where your operation requires an additional type.

Adding a new Pay Type is done when you are inside an employee profile.  You will find Pay Types on the lower half of the Employee details page on the right side.  Click the Add button in the Pay Types section, and then Add new pay type.

Enter the name of the new pay type, pick Hourly or Salary from the first drop down list, and select the expense account from the second drop down list. 

There are a couple other options you may need to change. 

-      The Include on vacationable earnings? button is used to indicate if vacation pay rates are to be calculated on this pay rate. 

-      Use the Include in Health Services Fund if contributions are to be made for this employee.

-      Use the Include in box RL-1 drop down menu to select the appropriate box for the employee’s RL-1 slip (if necessary).

-      The Include on T4 box? is relevant if the pay type is commission based.  If so, use the drop down menu to select 42 – Commission.  Otherwise, leave as blank.

When complete, click Save.

Note:  There are two separate lists of Pay Types - one for arm's length employees and one for non-arm's length employees.  If a Pay Type is set up for arm's length employees, it will not be seen when setting up a non-arm's length employee, and if needed will need to be added as well.
