In this window, you'll enter detailed information about each employee you pay in your company. The information you enter in this window is used to determine wage, deduction and tax amounts for each employee, and helps to calculate each pay period's paycheque amounts. To do this, complete the following steps:
In the Pay Basis field, choose Hourly or Salary from the list to designate whether this employee is paid based on the number of hours he or she works, or based on a fixed salary amount. If you wish, you can also assign hourly wage types to salaried employees and salary wage types to hourly employees by selecting the wages you want from the Payroll Categories list.
If you select Hourly, the Base Hourly wage (or the name you assigned to this wage) will be automatically selected in the Payroll Categories list in the right side of this window. If you select Salary, the Base Salary wage (or the name you assigned to this wage) will be automatically selected in the Payroll Categories list.
The Payroll Categories list contains all the wages, deductions and employer expenses in the Accounting Plus system, as well as the taxes that apply to the entries you made in the Payroll Details view of the Card Information window for this employee. If you want to view more information about a wage, deduction, employer expense or tax, click the zoom arrow next to the name to display its appropriate Information window.
Click the Select column next to a wage, deduction, employer expense or tax name if you want to assign that payroll category to the employee. The payroll categories you select will be displayed in the Pay Employees window and calculated with the employee's paycheques.
