Payroll Items Setup

NetSuite provides a list of predefined payroll items that your company can use to set up earnings, deductions, and contributions. You must create new payroll items to pay employees and to track payroll liabilities and expenses.

Typical new payroll items include:

• Regular Pay or Hourly Wages (Earning:Wage)

• Overtime Pay or Hourly Wages (Earning:Wage)

• Salary (Earning:Salary)

• Bonus (Earning:Addition)

• Third Party Sick Pay Taxable or Third Party Sick Pay Non Taxable (Earnings received from a third party, usually for short or long-term disability). For more information, see Recording Third-Party Sick Pay Payments.

• Health Insurance (Company contribution for portion and deduction for employee-paid portion)

• Union dues (Deduction)

• Savings (Deduction)
