# How to create Pay Core Tables

#### Navigation: Pay | Pay core tables

---

In Pay core tables, you can set up **Pay Levels** and **Rate Codes**. These will link back to how an employee is paid and are useful when setting up an [Employment Agreement](/docs/intro-to-employment-agreement).

## How to add a Pay Level

          TIP

          

In the below instructions, the pay levels example will be called *Steps*.

1. Go to *Pay | Pay core tables*.
2. Select **Pay Level** under controls.
3. Select **Add Card**. The ADD PAY LEVEL panel will open.
4. Enter the pay level **NAME** (for example, *Step 1*).
5. Enter the pay level **CODE** (for example, *S1*).
6. Make sure the **ACTIVE** status is set to *Yes*.
7. Select the Submit icon to save and close the panel.
8. Repeat instructions 1-7 for extra steps as required.

## How to add a Rate Code

Rate codes are linked to transactions. Jemini can't have two people sitting in two positions, so use this function for employees who get paid different rates for different roles.

          TIP

          

In the below instructions, the rate code example will be for *after hours work*. You can create as many rate codes for different roles as you like.

1. Go to *Pay | Pay core tables*.
2. Select **Rate Code** under controls.
3. Select **Add Card**. The ADD RATE CODE panel will open.
4. Enter the rate code **NAME** (for example, *After hours*).
5. Enter the rate code **CODE** (for example, *AH*).
6. Make sure the **ACTIVE** status is set to *Yes*.
7. Select the Submit icon to save and close the panel.
8. Repeat instructions 1-7 for extra rate codes as required.
