In the HR and Payroll module, master data is entered at the stage of deployment and is used as the key data in many types of transactions. For example, if you are calculating payroll, you need information about accruals and deductions, vacations, work time types, work schedules, and so forth. If needed, you can add new master records at any time. Generally, the master data if used in any transaction cannot be edited or deleted.
Most types of the master records become available only after the HR and Payroll module is enabled. For this, you can select the Enable Payroll and HR Module option on the Administration > Settings > HR and Payroll form.
The following types of master records are maintained in the HR and Payroll module:
- Positions
- Accruals and Deduction Types
- Work Day Calendars
- Worktime Types
- Employee Benefits Provisions
- Vacation Types
- Sick Leave Types
- Sick Leave Intervals
- Document Types of Individuals
- End-of-Service Provision Rates
- Payroll Calculation Parameters
After that, you can create master records for Individuals and Employees. Notice that can create only Employees, while Individuals will be created automatically by using the data provided for employees.
