All payroll categories assigned to the employee you entered in the Payee field appear in the scrolling list in the lower section of the window. If the employee is paid on an hourly basis, enter the number of hours he or she worked for each of the wage categories assigned to him or her. The payroll categories' amounts are calculated automatically and displayed in the Amount column of the scrolling list.
Before you record the paycheck, it's very important to you and your employee that the information that appears in the scrolling list is correct. Be sure to take a few moments to review the line items in the scrolling list to ensure the proper amounts appear, and that the proper accounts are affected by the transaction.
