Create a new Pay Type for use in Payroll

Why create a new Pay Type?

You are about to pay staffs under a new payment category. You want to add this to Payroll.

Steps to create new Pay Type

1. Create the new Pay Type
   • Go to Payroll / Pay Type, and create the new Pay Type.
2. Enable this Pay Type in Job Order Template
   • Go to Payroll / Job Order Template, open the Job Order Template you want to enable the new pay type. Click into the Pay Type.
   • Turn this on by clicking at "Is Active" option
   • Review other setting and assign the proper value, e.g.
     • Is Relevant Income for Hong Kong MPF calculation
     • Is Taxable and the corresponding tax category
     • Is disregarded days for excluding the days in ADW calculation
     • Is disregarded wgaes for excluding the amount in ADW calculation
   • Put in the pay formula
     • If your pay type "has unit rate", then you need to assign both "unit rate formula" and "number of unit formula"
     • If your pay type "has no unit rate", then you need to assign the "unit rate formula".
       • Put [PR] at "Unit Rate Formula" and it will take what is defined in pay rate to payroll.
   • Save
3. Now you can see the new Pay Type showing up in Placement profiles
   • Assign default pay rate if needed
4. And you can now generate a new payroll and confirm the new pay type is working
   • Remember, the new pay type will not show up in payroll generated previously. You will need to "Recalculate" any existing payroll to see it.
