DEFINE CANADIAN PAY CATEGORIES#

Canadian Pay Categories are used to set up typical tax processing rules for different types of Canadian pays.

You may define and maintain Canadian tax processing rules through the Define CDN Pay Categories (IPPGC) form. This function controls the taxation of a pay and allows you to control behavior of the pay header types. IPPGC will override the taxation indicators on the employee pay rule (TD1 claim form).

Canadian Pay Category data is stored in the P2K_PR_PAY_CATEGORIES and P2K_PR_CDN_PAY_CATEGORIES tables.
