In Weplanify, the **Payroll** group of the settings menu only shows to people with payroll access. Its settings apply to the next payroll computed; a closed payroll never changes.

![Settings, Payroll, General: payroll setup and leave and indemnity](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/weplanify/o/docs%2Fconfiguration%2Fmaj-2026-09-28%2Fcf-paie-0840cfd0.webp?alt=media&token=0508f8ff-69a1-459d-b13c-b66bb22fc644)

## The pages

- **General**: payroll setup, once at the start ([branches and payroll countries](https://weplanify.io/docs/configuration.branches?lang=en), [opening history](https://weplanify.io/docs/paie.reprise-historique?lang=en)), and how [leave and indemnity](https://weplanify.io/docs/paie.configuration.conges?lang=en) are handled.
- **Contributions**: the country's [contribution rates](https://weplanify.io/docs/paie.taux?lang=en), which you can adjust if your company departs from them.
- **Pay elements**: the [pay elements](https://weplanify.io/docs/paie.elements?lang=en) and their checks.
- **Accounting export**: the [chart of accounts](https://weplanify.io/docs/paie.comptes-comptables?lang=en) used for the payroll entry.

## Good to know

- Payroll rules change from one country to another: Weplanify applies the base of the branch's country.
- Who sees this group: [payroll access](https://weplanify.io/docs/employes.acces?lang=en).
