  3. Select grouping options. Specify this information:
    Check (Check Group)

    The check group that the hours for these time records belong to. Time records with a common entry in this field are grouped on one payment record for the employee. If multiple payments are desired, type a different value.

    Process (Process Group)

    The process group that hours for these time records belong to. Time records with a common value in this field are grouped for tax calculation purposes. Process groups let you tax pay codes separately, but combine earnings in a single payment.
