Components | The Sub-Code Function: A Flexible Income Base
About
When an income base has been configured to
allow for sub-code functionality the Compliance team ensures that the
correct tax codes are by default included in the income base. This is normally used on note components to support
statutory calculations.
This function is also known as a flexible
income base, since the user can include or exclude payroll components from the
income base. To establish if an income
base provides for this flexibility, please refer to the release notes under
“What’s New” to confirm if this functionality is available for a specific
income base.
To include or exclude
components from a flexible income base, access the Payroll Components screen. This screen displays all components
available on the Payroll Components screen.
Edition
This feature is available on all PaySpace payroll editions.
