Note: Payroll transactions are different from other recurring transactions. For information about recurring transactions other than payroll transactions, see Using recurring transactions.
By their nature, employee payments are recurring transactions -- transactions that you create time and time again. Using the Process Payroll Assistant, you can create employee payments using the pay frequency of your choice. After you've set up the payroll details for an employee, you can, though, override the entries for some of the payroll categories you made for an employee and make those entries recurring entries.
You may want to set up a recurring amount for a deduction, for example, for which you have a fixed amount that is different for each employee. You'll use the Payroll Details view - Recurring Pay of the Card Information window to make recurring entries. (Which entries on an employee payment can be recurring entries)
Important:
Entries in the Recurring Pay window override the entries in other Payroll Details windows
If you receive the alert message "Would you like to update the Recurring Pay values now?"
The amounts in the Recurring Pay window are the amounts used on employee payments
Entries you make in the Card Information window - Payroll Details view - Recurring Pay override other payroll entries. The recurring entries you make in the window will be used on all employee payments created for the employee. The entries will remain in effect until you change the recurring entries or until you click the Reset to Original Amounts button in the Recurring Pay window.
Note: Use the Reset to Original Amounts button to return amounts to default entries
