Payroll

Creating payroll categories

A set of payroll categories is automatically created for you when you create your company file. Review the details of each of the payroll categories that you plan to use to be sure that the payroll category is set up to meet the needs of your employees. Click the zoom arrow next to the payroll category to review the category's information.

It's possible, however, that this default set of payroll categories doesn't fully suit your company's payroll needs. If this is the case, you can create the payroll categories you need.

Please note that wages, accruals, deductions and employer expenses must be assigned to employees before they can be used on paychecks. If you choose not to assign the new wage, accrual, deduction and employer expense to employees using the procedures listed below, use the Payroll Details views of the Card Information window.
