  Key Concepts: 
  Employee groups are used in the SAP Payroll (PY) component to group employees together for payroll processing. Employee groups are used to assign payroll rules, such as wage types, deductions, and taxes, to a group of employees. This allows for easier and more efficient payroll processing. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Employee groups can be created in the SAP system by going to the “Payroll” tab and selecting “Employee Groups”. From there, you can create a new employee group and assign it a name and description. Once the employee group is created, you can assign payroll rules to it. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating employee groups, it is important to consider how they will be used in the payroll process. For example, if you are creating an employee group for a specific department or job role, make sure that all of the relevant payroll rules are assigned to that group.
