Run Code Description Table Maintenance

Use Run Code Description Table Maintenance to maintain the descriptions for up to nine Run Codes that are used to group employees together for processing.  You can select a group of employees by specifying different Run Codes for many payroll processes and for some reports.

Tips:

• If you pay all employees together, simply enter a generic description for Run Code 1, such as your company name.

• For each Run Code, you can use Number of Pay Periods Table Maintenance (WKn) to establish the number of Pay Periods Per Year.  The system uses a default value if the table does not exist.

• For more information, refer to the topics Run Code Entry and Understanding Run Codes.

• For more information about working with data in fields, see Data Entry Guidelines.
