Maintaining payroll configuration

Use Payroll Configuration Maintenance to view and maintain information about the payroll configuration used when processing payroll. Every organisation has a different payroll setup, so Synergetic allows you to configure it to your own needs. The settings that you define here are the overall settings that are used throughout the payroll system.

You maintain information such as:

banking configuration
leave awards
tax rates

pay groups
links from payroll to the general ledger
PAYG references in Australia
PAYE references in New Zealand.
