Where to find it

  • Open Settings.

  • Choose Payroll (sidebar label Payroll under Settings).

  • A shortcut on the page links back to Human Resource: TO HR PAGE ->

When you can use it

  • You need human-payroll or human-vacation-admin (as enforced on the route).

What you can do

Times

  • Section Times: includes Pay Period Start Day and Pay Period Length (In Days).

Mileage

  • Section Mileage: includes Pay Per Mile.

Adjustment categories

  • Section Adjustment Categories: lets you maintain the categories used on payroll sheets (defaults often include Reimbursement and Pay Correction).

Benefits

  • Section Benefits: includes Vacation Pay (Per Day) and Sick Pay Total Hours (Total Annual).

Notifications

  • Notifications:(Payroll) — toggle Email Employees When A Payroll Run Is Complete.

  • Notifications: (Vacations) — toggles Email Employee When Vacation is Approved and Email Admin When Vacation is Requested.

  • Vacation Notification Email (with tooltip about comma-separated addresses) is available when admin vacation notifications are enabled.

UKG Payroll Link

  • Section UKG Payroll Link: maps pay types (such as Salary, Hourly, Bonus, Primary Pay, Add-On Pay, Mileage, Vacation Pay, Sick Pay, plus your adjustment categories) to UKG earning codes.

After you save

  • Use the floating save bar (dirty-state submit) to persist changes; successful saves refresh defaults for new payroll periods and notifications.

Caveats

  • UKG mapping rows depend on your enabled pay types and adjustment category list.

  • Changing pay period settings affects how future payroll periods are interpreted—coordinate with payroll admins before mid-cycle changes.
