By creating a pay group, this will allow the system to identify the employee’s pay frequency, pay period, and appropriate benefit per pay deduction.

To access Pay Groups, from the left menu, choose Company and then Pay Groups. Here you will see a listing of all of the existing pay groups.  Remember, every company must have at least one pay group for Benefits to function properly.
