Additional Information

By default, the majority of earnings presets are set to be grouped under the line Salary and Wages. If you wish to differ these earnings presets, a member of the Push Support Team can update the preset setup for the relevant presets to have a Separate Journal Entry line. 

Once the specific preset(s) setup has been updated, under Journal Entry Settings, each of them will be listed for you to enable it to be separated (as mentioned in step 10 (Canada) and step 8 (USA).

Note that any changes made to Journal Entry Settings are for future pay periods. If you would like past reports to be updated with the new changes, please re-run the distributions to update.

Please note that only Super Administrators have access to make changes under Journal Entry Settings.
