Fields
General Payroll Information window
The Current Payroll Year
This field displays your current payroll year, or allows you to enter your current payroll year. (If an entry already appears in this field, you may have made this entry using the MYOB AccountEdge New Company File Assistant. Once you've entered your current payroll year this entry can't be changed.)
Your company's payroll year is always structured on a calendar year basis; that is, it's 12 months long and ranges from January to December. It's possible that your payroll year and fiscal year aren't structured the same, and that's okay.
If you want to start writing paychecks in the current year, enter the current year in this field. If you want to start writing paychecks next year, enter next year in this field.
Number of Hours in a Full-Time Work Week
Enter the number of hours in your company's typical work week. The number you enter here will be used to calculate wages and withholding amounts on paychecks.
Keep in mind that the number you should enter here is the number of hours in a single work week, not the hours in a pay period. AccountEdge will use the number you enter here to properly calculate the hours and dollar amounts for your pay period.
If an entry already appears in this field, you may have made this entry using the MYOB AccountEdge New Company File Assistant.
