Hi teagan1,
Let me share with you how to show your employee's primary pay category automatically in the pay run.
- Go to the Employees or Payroll tab.
- Click on the employee's name.
- Select Pay Rates.
- If you would like a pay category to automatically be included in a pay run, tick the Show in Pay Run box.
- Select Save.
For the changes to apply on an unfinalised pay run, you may need to delete the pay run first and create a new one.
You can check this article for your future reference: How to update employee pay rates.
