Documentation

Definition

Payroll programs process different personnel areas and employee subgroups in different payroll periods. A payroll area groups the employees for whom the payroll is to be run on the same date irrespective of their status (salaried employee, industrial worker).

The program which retrieves data for payroll accounting selects records on the basis of payroll area. The payroll area defines the selection period but not the personnel numbers that are selected.

Use

The following options are available for the "Payroll area", "Payroll period", and "Payroll year" fields:

• Payroll area without period and year
  The payroll area is used to determine the current payroll period from the control record. The payroll period is the period for which payroll is to be run. This value is set as the data and person selection period.
  
• Payroll area with period and year
  The exact period is determined from the payroll area, period and year entries. This value is set as the data and person selection period.
