Organising Pay Elements in the same order for all employes

I have a number of pay elements such as bonus, commission, overtime and holiday pay but for different employees they are in a different sequence.

When I receive pay data from my client it is in a set order on a spreadsheet - Commission, Overtime, Bonus, Holiday Pay.

I now want all the employees to have their pay elements in that order but at the moment I cannot rearrange them except after the Year End. When I have 50+ employees and 10 or more pay elements doing it manually employee by employee is not practicable. Also when adding a new pay element during the year it is still put at the bottom of the list.

I want to be able to rearrange the order manually or better still have an automatic option to sort them in order of their pay element number.

    Totally agree. I have a client payroll of 50+ employees and I finally reorganised it at last year end. 4 different commissions plus bonus, overtime, holiday pay, A nightmare when everyone had them in different sequence. Now when there is a new employee I add all the pay elements in the same order even though I may not need them.

    Yes, I agree.

    Also agree we should be able to delete pay elements that are not used.

    This would be extremely useful. I agree It would also be helpful to have the facility to delete pay elements that have become redundant.

    Great idea. It would also be helpful to have the facility to delete pay elements that have become redundant.
