Payroll Categories normally consists of five elements: earnings, benefits, deductions, accruals, taxes and employer expenses. These collectively make up a paycheck. Before you begin paying your employees, you will create payroll categories that are used by your company. These categories will then be assigned to your employees that are required. Acclaim comes preloaded with a predefined list of payroll categories. Please review these to ensure you are not creating categories already assigned or in use.
