A Paygroup is used to group a set of employees within an organization for payroll processing. This will group people so that they will have the same:
Pay frequency
Currency
Pay period (beginning and end dates)
When creating a Paygroup, it is a good practice to ensure that your Paygroup is in the future to allow you time to switch from your existing payroll process to Freshteam.

2. You would see a list of existing Paygroups in your account. Hover over any Paygroup name to see the Edit and Delete options.
Note: You can only delete a Paygroup once all employees assigned to it have been moved to another Paygroup. Deleting a Paygroup will also delete the payroll data that may have been generated against this Paygroup.Note: When editing a Paygroup, you can only update the currency or the name of the Paygroup. You cannot change the frequency or start date.
