# JAS Setup

Payroll provider settings are configured in JAS and processed through the [job queue](/job-queue).

<Note>
  You cannot create new payroll providers in JAS. Only existing providers can be modified.
</Note>

## Main Settings

The following settings control how a payroll provider behaves across your system.

| Setting                         | Description                                                                                                                                 |
| :------------------------------ | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Available Within Industries** | Select which industries support this payroll provider. Only organisations within the selected industries will have access to this provider. |
| **Payroll Code Questions**      | Select which questions must be answered for the payroll provider to function correctly. This setting is primarily relevant to EdPay.        |
| **Payroll Activities**          | Configure activities other than standard work hours that can be substituted into a timesheet — for example, sick leave or lieu earned.      |

## Payroll Activity Settings

Each payroll activity listed under a provider has its own set of settings. These control how the activity is identified by the payroll provider and how it is displayed in the system.

| Setting                   | Description                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| :------------------------ | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Payroll Code**          | A numerical or alphanumerical code used by the payroll provider to identify this activity on their system. Not always required — check whether the payroll provider expects a code before entering one. |
| **Description**           | The display name of the activity as it appears in the system.                                                                                                                                           |
| **Pay Rate Factor**       | A multiplier applied to the standard pay rate for this activity. For example, a factor of `1.5` would pay time-and-a-half.                                                                              |
| **Display Colour**        | The colour shown alongside this activity in the roster and timesheets. Enter a value in **hexadecimal** format (e.g. `#FF5733`).                                                                        |
| **Payroll Category Code** |                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| **Archived**              | Mark this activity as archived if it is no longer in use. Archived activities will not appear as options when editing timesheets or rosters.                                                            |
