Currently, administrator users are restricted to creating duplicates of existing pay elements that have been created by the product & engineering team (using a base element that has the required settings).
However, there are instances where there is no readily available pay element that contains the desired settings the administrator user is looking for. In these situations, not only is it time consuming to try and find an element which has the required settings, where one can't be found then a manual workaround is often required (if a solution is even achievable).
My suggestion is that payroll administrators should be able to create their own elements at the company &/or bureau level, where they can completely configure all aspects of the pay element to their needs.

Not just administrators - superusers cant create an element either without 'duplicating' an element already there, takes twice as long searching for one that fits the criteria - but then what if there isnt one? pain when its simple to just be able to create one that you need
This affects overtime, as we are restricted to the overtime codes that are set in the system, i can't set up a code that pays an additional multiplier of 0.33 as a top up, which means that i can't upload the hours in the same way as i would for overtime. This has to be entered manually every time, unless i run a report to obtain the rate, calulate the multiplier and upload with units and rates.
