Pay Summary Group (PR20.2)

Use Pay Summary Group (PR20.2) to define pay summary groups. A pay summary group represents a group of pay codes. The system stores all pay history by pay summary group.

Processing Effect

Pay summary groups determine how pay is stored in history, how it is taxed, and how it prints on payments, direct deposit receipts, and reports. Pay summary groups also determine if straight time hours and pay, and premium pay are eligible to be included in the calculation of an employee's regular rate for overtime. Whether the premium portion of pay is eligible to be credited toward total overtime due, is also determined by the pay summary group. Through pay summary groups, you can also identify tips pay for tracking in the Lawson Tips system.

More Information

Define a pay summary group for each type of pay you want to print separately on payments, direct deposit receipts, or payroll reports.

You must assign a pay summary group to each pay code defined in PR20.4 (Pay Code). You can associate multiple pay codes with one pay summary group to print one total.
