Configuration
| This topic is for advanced users |
Correct configuration of the software ensures that your company’s pay rules and policies are applied correctly. An unlimited number of pay rules, base schedules, holiday rules, and accrual rules can be configured so as to correctly pay employees for both worked and unworked hours.
Access to the configuration should be restricted to those in an administrative role through the user authorizations. If you have access to the configuration setup, then you should not make any changes without fully understanding the implications and scope of the changes.
The configuration items are available from the Configuration ribbon tab. The configuration items are organized into categories of a related nature.
