      Why do you map pay runs in Wiise Payroll? 

      Mapping pay runs in Wiise Payroll ensures that employee payments are correctly aligned with the chart of accounts, enabling accurate tracking of wages, taxes, and deductions. This process helps maintain clear financial records and supports compliance with accounting and payroll regulations. 

      Note: The Advanced G/L account setup allows pay runs to be split by the employee dimension or location dimension. You can find this setting in the Advanced section of the Setup action from Wiise Payroll on your Wiise landing page.  

      How to map pay runs in Wiise Payroll? 

      There are two methods to map pay runs in Wiise Payroll. This is the Simple G/L account setup and Advanced G/L account setup.  

      Simple G/L account setup 

      This mapping approach is utilised for standard pay run businesses that do not require dimensional tagging on your payroll journals.  

      Note: You’re not required to set up the chart of accounts in Wiise Payroll. Auto generated pay conditions from Wiise Payroll are auto mapped to Wiise general ledger accounts. 

      Note: You’re not required to set up Location Specific Accounts when using Wiise Payroll.

      Note: Each payable account and each leave accrued expense account must have a balancing account.  

      Advanced G/L account setup 

      This mapping approach is utilised for businesses who use awards or employment agreements. Advanced G/L account setup basically has to be utilised if the business wishes to split the pay run by a dimension such as the employee dimension or a combination of dimensions using the location setup.

      Here are the steps to handle multiple awards:
