What are Payslip Display Codes
Description

The Payslip Display Code functionality enables you to create a template of Earnings, Deductions and Calculation Field Definitions that will display for a group of employees, e.g. a MANAGEMENT Payslip Display Code will only show the Earnings, Deductions and Calculation Field definitions that are applicable to managers. When on a manager’s Payslip, you will see a Payslip with only the applicable lines.

NOTE: The Payslip Display Codes option is only available if the option to use Additional Earnings and Deductions functionality has been selected on the Company Miscellaneous 2 screen. 

Payslip Display Code Definitions

For each Payslip Display Code that is defined, a Payslip Group Code, a Report Description and a Screen Description must be entered and you must indicate which Earnings, Deductions and Calculation Fields must be displayed for each Code. For each Earning, Deduction or Calculation Field that is selected, you can also indicate to which Method of Calculation(s) all the employees in that Payslip Group must be linked.

When adding a new employee and linking the employee to a particular Payslip Display Code, only the applicable Earnings, Deductions or Calculation Fields will appear on that employee’s Payslip. The employee will also be automatically linked to the Methods of Calculation as specified for that Payslip Display Code.

For existing employees, a yellow mask will appear on the Employee Linking screen (MC) when the employee is linked to a particular Payslip Display Code. All the applicable Earnings, Deductions and/or Calculation Fields with the relevant Methods of Calculation, as defined for the Payslip Display Code, are set to Y. All lines not applicable for the Payslip Display Code are set to N, unless the totals for a line are not zero. You will not be able to cancel a line for an employee if the totals for that line are not zero.

CAUTION: Basic Salary and Tax are included for all Groups and cannot be cancelled. The same applies to UIF in R.S.A. companies and to Rounding if it has been selected on the Company Miscellaneous screen.
