This program allows the user of the FACTS system to determine the order in which earnings codes, taxes and deductions codes appear on screens and reports throughout the payroll system.
When entering earnings codes the first one must be an hourly code with an hours multiplier of 1.000 as set in the Earnings Code F/M. Codes for any other wages earned may then be entered. When setting up other deductions, place the codes with a balance after non-balance deductions. Prior to using this program, earnings and deductions codes (including taxes) must be defined through the Earnings Code F/M and Deduction Code F/M programs.
CAUTION! Once processing begins, no changes should be made in this file without the supervision of your affiliate. Changes made to this file can seriously endanger the integrity of the data files! It is strongly advised that a password be used in this program.
