Payroll indicators

The payroll indicators master data, which includes allowances, employee premiums, and attendance types, provides a means that allow users of InEight Progress to give more information about an employee’s compensation for the workday.

By configuring payroll indicators in master data and establishing a baseline, an administrator at the project level can easily assign available payroll indicators to project employees, so they have all applicable payroll indicators assigned when they are added to daily plans.
