The administrator sets up the compensation structures and is also responsible for changes and adjustments: adapting point- and range-based compensation structures by maintaining grades, amounts, and minimum and maximum amounts. Basic elements in compensation are compensation components, comprising:
Salaries or wages
Regular earnings or deductions
One-time earnings or deductions
The HR administrator also creates point- and range-based compensation structures for all employee groups, enabling grouping of employees based on their compensation packages. Compensation structures increase transparency for your company compensation policies and allow analysis of compensation across various employee groups. Performed by

Process Check mapping tables Schedule future payroll processes X i i The HR administrator schedules regular payroll runs according to the payroll periods (for example, bi-weekly, semi-monthly) of the different payroll groups. Depending on the planned payroll run date, the administrator creates the payroll periods, plans the payment dates, the payroll period start and end dates, and the cut-off dates – the latest dates that payroll-relevant data must be entered in the ByDesign system to ensure its inclusion in the payroll run.
The HR administrator is also responsible for smooth communication between the ByDesign system and the payroll provider system. This role includes ensuring that the mapping tables of pay types to provider pay types, time types to provider times types, and time account pay types to provider time account types are correctly maintained and up-to-date in the ByDesign system.
