  • Set up pay groups for different pay rates or frequencies (e.g., monthly for salaried employees, bi-weekly for hourly).

  • Save the groups as default for each employee as needed.

8. Classify Employees and Contractors

Once completed, you’re ready to run your first payroll! If you have any questions, feel free to contact the FarmRaise team for support.
