Work tab

What the Work tab contains and what it does

The Work tab contains the work-related earnings entries recorded for the employee currently selected in the Payrun.

Work entries use Work codes configured in the Codes screen. The selected Work code determines the type of work being paid and the applicable multiplier.

For more information about configuring Work codes, refer to:

  • <Creating Work codes>

Each Work entry records the applicable date, Work code (type), units, rate, value and costing information.

For more information about payroll costing, refer to:
