To enter payroll details (employees only)

If you haven't already read the Cards Overview, see Payroll Details view (Employee cards only) for more information.

The Card Information window of the employee for whom you wish to enter payroll details should be displayed.

  1. Click the Payroll Details tab, if you haven't already.

  2. Select the Residence Code and Work Code that apply to the employee. This information must be entered before the card can be used in the Pay Employees window.

  3. Click the Info button to open the Employee Payroll Information window. Make entries and selections from the left side of the window.

  4. On the right side of the window, assign all the payroll categories (wages, deductions, accruals and payroll taxes) that apply to the employee.

    Be sure you carefully select all the payroll categories that apply to this employee. Your selections in this window is very important because they are the key components in determining the employee's net pay amount. Without complete and accurate entries, payroll calculations will be incorrect.

    Once you've made all the entries you need to make, click the OK button in the Employee Payroll Information window to assign the payroll information to the employee.

  1. Click the History button to enter payroll amounts for the pay periods before you started using AccountEdge.

Warning: If you change a card's pay history

 AccountEdge uses the figures displayed in the Pay History window on some reports. If you change a card's pay history in this window, keep in mind that the change you make may not accurately reflect your actual totals.

Use care when making changes to the amounts displayed in this window. If you make a change and then want to use the previous amount, AccountEdge can't automatically reconstruct the monthly totals.
  1. Click the Accruals button to enter carry-over amounts from the pay periods before you started using AccountEdge.

  2. Click the Time Billing button to open the Time Billing Card Setup window.

    In the Hourly Billing Rate field, enter the hourly rate you want to assign to this card.

    For employee and vendor cards, enter the cost of an hour of the employee's or vendor's time in the Cost Per Hour field. This information will be used to calculate sales history for time billing activities. Click OK.

  1. Continue to Make a Contact Log entry.
