# Wage groups

Salary groups are created and maintained under Admin > Employee > Wage groups in Capitech Flow. Employees who should be included in payroll export must have a salary group registered on their employee record.

The salary group is assigned to each employee in the Employee register. An employee can only belong to one wage group.
