  How to use it: 
  In order to use wage type classes, they must first be created in the system. This is done by going to the “Payroll” tab in the SAP system and selecting “Wage Type Classes” from the drop-down menu. From there, you can create a new wage type class and assign it to a wage type. Once this is done, you can then assign wage types to employees and process payroll accordingly.
