Using Multiple Pay Groups

Although with the "Allow employees to be assigned to multiple pay groups" option enabled the system will allow for multiple Pay Group assignments, it is important to keep the settings of each group in mind when making additional assignments.

It is not advised to assign employees to multiple Pay Groups with different Pay Period, Holiday Lists, Departments, or Supervisors assigned.

This is due to the fact that the last applied and/or updated Pay Group will propagate its policies to its employees, possibly overwriting the intended policy/department/supervisor assignments.

The system is designed to work this way, but issues may occur when using multiple Pay Group assignments if you are not mindful of the settings and policies already specified.
