Customising is not often required because of the comprehensive set of screens and rules supplied as standard with the nuQ system. Most employers will not need any additional facilities. For those that do, you can easily create new screens, associated tables and elements (i.e. earnings, deductions or totals).

You choose an existing earnings, deduction or total which is nearest to the new item that you wish to create on a “copy” screen. All names and factors from the item to be copied are displayed together with an empty box in which you enter the equivalent data for your new item. Press the “create” button and in a few seconds all screens, tables and rules are created. All you then need to do is to change any other items (such as a tax total to be updated) on the newly generated records. All this should not take more than five minutes!

Most customising can be done this way, but more complex requirements may mean having to write some VB Script code.
