This guide explains how to configure core payroll settings within the Payroll app in Care Control Cloud. These settings control key aspects of how payroll operates across your organisation, including holiday entitlements, break payments, reporting preferences, and whether to use pay bands or pay rates.

The Core Settings area allows you to define how payroll calculations behave at a global level, ensuring consistency and accuracy for all staff. It also provides flexibility to tailor payroll behaviour to match your organisation’s policies and operational requirements.

By following this guide, you will learn how to:

- Access and navigate Core Payroll Settings
- Set minimum holiday entitlements
- Control whether hours are included in payroll reports
- Configure paid or unpaid break settings
- Choose between using pay bands or pay rates
- Set induction pay rates for new staff
- Enable and manage Cloud Payroll functionality

This process ensures your payroll system is configured correctly, providing accurate calculations and aligning with your organisation’s policies.
