Pay data – Pay Elements – Pre-processing element types

The pay element types are created during the upload process. A pay element can be anything, such as salary, car allowance, commission. Pay element types are specific to a payroll and are necessary to drive the local payroll process. The pre-processing  values are uploaded and stored by pay period.
