Description

This form shows all earning codes configured for use in a particular company. The earning code controls accounting information for transaction postings as well as how the earning impacts worker salaries.

Some earnings contain version numbers, which means they were imported from a Statutory Deduction Spreadsheet from the software provider. These earnings cannot be modified apart from accounting and display options.
