A Payment Method is a way how organizations pay their employees their salaries. In Salarium, there are 4 different types of Payment Methods - Cash, Cheque, Bank Account, and SALPay. When adding employees, whether, through Manual Entry or Batch Upload, you will not be able to set their Payment Methods.
Without the hassle of updating the employees' profiles one by one, we can already change their payment methods by Batch Update.
