Wage types

What are wage types used for?

Wage types control how hours, compensation, and absence are transferred to payroll.

Wage types are used under:

Admin - Integrations - Payroll integration

Here, time categories and absence codes are linked to the correct wage type. This ensures that payroll exports use the correct wage type in the payroll system.
