Introduction

Payroll instructions are fundamental building blocks in Rise Payroll. They calculate and track the amounts of earnings, benefits, and deductions your employees get.

There are three types of payroll instructions in Rise:

• Earnings are money paid to employees. For example, regular salary or overtime pay.
• Benefits don’t add to take-home pay. For example, the employer portion of group benefits premiums.
• Deductions get taken off an employee’s take-home pay, either before or after taxes. For example, the employee portion of group benefits premiums.

Adding a provider-level payroll instruction

To help you stay compliant, Rise has a list of premade payroll instructions ready to use. And we’ll automatically keep them updated as the regulations change. You can add these instructions from our library. Here’s how:

1. Select Payroll in the navigation, and click on Payroll Setup.

2. Choose the button Add Payroll Instruction from Provider Library.

3. Select the payroll instruction you need from the list available in the drop-down menu.

For example, let’s look at Pay in Lieu (Dollars) . This provider instruction:

• has the input type of Money,
• increases insurable earnings for the Record of Employment (ROE)
• but does not increase insurable hours.
• These amounts are not Quebec Pensionable.

6. Scroll to the bottom and click Save.

You have successfully added this payroll instruction to your organization.
