To record a recurring paycheck

If you haven't already read the Paychecks Overview, see Recording recurring paychecks for more information.

The Pay Employees window should be displayed.

  1. Click the Use Recurring button.

  2. A window appears, displaying all recurring transactions you've set up. Double-click the transaction you want; the transaction's information will appear in the Pay Employees window.

  3. Be sure to review all the information that appears in the window to be sure it's correct. Pay particular attention to the date and check number; if you need to find this transaction in the future, you'll need to remember this information.

  4. Click Record to record the transaction. The recurring paycheck will be recorded as an actual transaction, and will also remain available in the recurring transaction "holding area" for future use.

Note: If you change amounts on a recurring paycheck

 When you change amounts (except payroll tax amounts) on a recurring paycheck, those amounts will be retained in the recurring paycheck's information. For example, if you entered a commission pay amount on a recurring check, that commission pay amount will still be included on the recurring check the next time you display the check. As a result, it's important that you review the amounts on every recurring paycheck before you record them.

On the other hand, if you made changes to the payroll tax amounts that appeared on the recurring paycheck, the changes you made won't be stored for the next time you want to record the paycheck.
