!!!DEFINE PAYROLLS
Payrolls are created and maintained on the Define Payrolls (IPPR) form. \\
Payrolls define the pay frequency for various groups of employees. Separate Payrolls are defined for each pay frequency that a group of employees are paid. Consequently, employees who are paid at different times will have separate payroll codes, such as employees paid every week and employees paid every two weeks. \\

Employees who have the same pay frequency, pay dates, and payroll bank will belong to the same payroll and have the same payroll code.

An employee can be on only one payroll code per ‘Employment Type’. Employment Types are defined for each employee on the [IEHR] (Establish Personnel Profiles) form. \\

Examples of employment types:
* Employee
* Contractor
* Retiree

Each Payroll Code must be defined in full detail. 

Payroll Information data is stored in the [P2K_PR_PAYROLLS] table.\\ \\
