The Pay Employee window is now located within Process Payroll

---

Upgraders: If you've used MYOB AccountEdge to record payroll transactions in earlier versions, when you click the Process Payroll button, you may be expecting the Pay Employees window to appear. The window that appears in MYOB AccountEdge Version 5, instead, is the first step of Process Payroll. (Use the new Process Payroll feature to pay employees)

The Pay Employee window (formerly named the Pay Employees window) can be now be found using step 2 of Process Payroll. (In previous versions of MYOB software, you could click the Pay Employees button in the Payroll Command Center to open Pay Employees window.) To proceed to step 2, you'll first choose to pay one employee or a group of employees (by selecting a pay frequency) in step 1. When step 2 is displayed, click the zoom arrow next the to an employee name.

In addition to using the Pay Employee window to review and edit employee payments created using the new Process Payroll feature, you can use the window to:

• Review or change the payment method.

• Review or change the employee's banking information (information about your employee's bank accounts to which funds will transfer electronically) in the Banking Details window.

• Review the default entries, including wages.

• Distribute an employee pay amount to one or more jobs. If any of the pay amounts on the payroll transaction should be allocated to a job, enter a job number on the line item for the payroll category. Click the search icon in the Job column of the line item for the payroll category to distribute the pay amount to multiple jobs.

• Distribute sick and vacation pay or other types of wages, if necessary.

Note:  You must subscribe to MYOB Direct Deposit to make electronic payments to employees
