Process Payroll

Select Employees to Pay


Process all employees paid

Mark this option if you want to process pay for a group of employees. You'll then select the pay frequency of the payroll transactions you want to create. When you select a frequency, payroll transactions will be prepared for those employees who have been assigned that frequency. (The Pay Frequency for an employee is selected using the Card Information window - Payroll Details view - Wages.)

In addition to the four pay frequencies in the drop-down list, there is another entry named Bonus/Commission. Make this selection to make a bonus/commission to an employee or a group of employees, regardless of their pay frequency. (Paying bonus/commission wages)

The list of employees with the specific pay frequency -- or those being receiving bonus/commission -- will display in step 2: Select & Edit Paychecks.

Process individual employee

Mark this option if you want to pay one employee. Select the name of the employee from the drop-down list that appears when this option is marked.

Pay Period Start and Pay Period End

Enter the start and end dates for this pay period.

Include Activity Slips

If you've set up employee cards so that you can include activity slips in employee payments and you've entered activity slips for your employees, the activity slips dated within the pay period date range will be included in the list that appears in the window.

Select Activity Slips to ADD to Recurring Pay -- Activity Slips list

This is a selection list showing activity slips hour information for employees. Activity slips on which you've marked "Include Hours in Employee's Pay" will be included in the list. The activity slips hours are displayed based upon the dates entered in the Pay Period Start and Pay Period End fields.

The hours on the activity slips hours that are listed can be included on employees' payroll transactions. Mark or unmark the activity slips hours you want to include in the employee payment.

Notes:
Activity slips are paid IN ADDITION to Recurring Pay


If you receive the alert message: No Activity Slips can be found using the criteria chosen

Checkmark (Include) column

This column of the activity slip selection list is used to indicate which activity slips hours you want to include on a payroll transaction for employees.

All activity slips hours with a mark displayed in the Include column will be included on the employee's payroll transaction.

If you wish to include activity slips hours for a certain employee and a mark doesn't appear in the Include column, click the column to add it. Click the gray box at the top of this column to mark all the employees in the list. Click again to clear all marks from the Include column.

If you've entered a job on an activity slip, when you choose to include activity slips hours the job will be allocated to the wage category on the activity slip. [To automatically distribute employee pay to one or more jobs (Enter Activity Slip window)]
