Payroll Types are the kinds of pay run you can process — regular pay, a bonus run, an off-cycle correction, a commission run, or a final paycheck. Choosing a type tells the system what a given payroll is for, so the right rules and handling apply.
Where to find Payroll Types
From the left sidebar choose HR & Payroll, then Payroll Types.
What you see on this screen
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The type of run — e.g. Regular, Bonus, Off-cycle adjustment, Commission, Final Pay. |
| Code | A short code for the type (regular, bonus, off_cycle…). |
| Status | Whether the type is active and available to use. |
| Default | The type used unless you pick another (Regular by default). |
include GO ships with the common types preloaded. Most businesses leave this list alone — it's reference data the payroll process draws on.
Adding and editing
Click Add to create a type, set its name and code, and mark it active. Right-click a row for its actions. One type is marked the default.
How Payroll Types connect to the rest of the app
When you start a payroll run, its type determines how it's handled — a Bonus or Off-cycle run behaves differently from a Regular one. See Payroll.
Permissions
Viewing requires HR view access; adding or editing types requires the manage permission.
