If you are a larger business you may prefer to setup your pay run in a more automated fashion. You can group like employees into a Pay Group and then create a schedule for how this Group get’s paid. The steps to run your Payroll for a Pay Group are as follows:

1. You will need to add additional information into you Bank Account setup for processing ABA files. Goto Main Menu > Accounts and select your bank account for editing. Enter bank code and user number in bank account
2. Setup email template to be used for Pay Group if you don’t already have one. (Main Menu > Settings > Templates > Payroll Email)
3. Add a Pay Group using the plus icon adjacent to Pay Group in the Main Menu.
4. Assign employee(s) to your new Pay Group. Do this using the drop down in the Employee Details screen for each employee.
5. Setup Timesheet based Employees with a Pay Item that uses timesheets:
   1. Add a new Wages and Salary Pay Item called say “Base Pay Hourly from Timesheet”. Check the “Auto-fill hours from timesheet when creating payroll entry” check box.
   2. Apply this new Pay Item to each Employee where you wish to use timesheet data in Saasu to generate the Pay transaction
6. Update the next pay for customised pays. e.g. leave, commissions, one-off payments etc. To do this click the pencil with arrow icon in the Employee List screen adjacent to the Employee whose Next Pay you would like to edit.
7. Check the default pay tab for employees who have constant pay amounts and setup that do not use timesheets of have special payments occurring
8. Process the pays into draft mode.
9. Once the draft is ready confirm the pays look correct in the PDF file.
10. Once you are happy with the draft you can process the pays to create/email payslips and generate the Bank Payment File ready for submission.
