Managing your organisations tags - Payroll Web Platform

Overview

As an organisation, you can use tags when setting up employee groups, to identify certain scenarios within pay condition rule sets. These tags come pre-provided if your organisation has installed a pre-built award, further reducing the administrative time spent on making sure the correct application of employee pay conditions and making sure your organisation has effective award interpretation.

The tag feature allows you to create your own tags and assign them to the required employees. You can also use this feature to re-assign a tag if the employee requirements change; edit the information if it is needed, and delete a record if it is no longer required.
