# How do I calculate and display pay period hours on payslips?

Within **Cintra iQ**, the **Payments and Rates** form summarises all payments and pay rates that are applicable to the employee. If payments are being set up via the employee’s post, those payments will also be summarised on this form.

You can calculate and display standard pay period hours on the payslips using the **Payments and Rates** form.

## To calculate and display standard pay period hours

### Set up a Units * Rates Payment Heading

Set up a **Units * Rates** payment heading where units are not ad hoc.

1. Go to **Cintra iQ**: Payroll > Payroll Setup > Adjustments > Addition Headings.
2. Click the **New** button. The **New Addition** form appears.
3. Enter the **Addition Heading Name**.
4. Select a **Reporting Group**.
5. Select the **Category**: **Employee in Post Payments** or **Employment Standard Payments**.
6. Select the **Units Times Rate** option.

### Set up the Employee's Individual Allowance
