To record a recurring paycheque

If you haven't already read the Paycheques Overview, see Recording recurring paycheques for more information.

The Pay Employees window should be displayed.

  1. Click the Use Recurring button.
  2. A window appears, displaying all recurring transactions you've set up. Double-click the transaction you want; the transaction's information will appear in the Pay Employees window.
  3. Be sure to review all the information that appears in the window to be sure it's correct. Pay particular attention to the date and cheque number; if you need to find this transaction in the future, you'll need to remember this information.
  4. Click Record to record the transaction. The recurring paycheque will be recorded as an actual transaction, and will also remain available in the recurring transaction "holding area" for future use.

Note: If you change amounts on a recurring paycheque

When you change amounts (except payroll tax amounts) on a recurring paycheque, those amounts will be retained in the recurring paycheque's information. For example, if you entered a commission pay amount on a recurring cheque, that commission pay amount will still be included on the recurring cheque the next time you display the cheque. As a result, it's important that you review the amounts on every recurring paycheque before you record them.

On the other hand, if you made changes to the payroll tax amounts that appeared on the recurring paycheque, the changes you made won't be stored for the next time you want to record the paycheque.
