How do I set up payroll groups?

What are payroll groups?

In Cintra iQ, payroll grouping enables simultaneous processing of identical actions across multiple payrolls. It's efficient to group payrolls sharing a similar schedule. For instance, if you have three weekly payrolls disbursing on Fridays, you can generate BACS files for all at once. To qualify for grouping, payrolls must share the same frequency, such as fortnightly or lunar.
