If you're starting to use Payroll after the first pay period of the payroll year, you must enter each employee's pay history for the current payroll year, up to the current date. You can enter pay history for specific months or quarters. To do this, complete the following steps:

  1. Highlight the first employee name that appears in the Employee List, then click the History button. The Pay History window will appear.
  2. Indicate the period of time you want to enter information about. Select a specific quarter or Year-to-Date from the Show Pay History For list.
  3. Review the wages and other payroll categories assigned to the employee. The first column in the scrolling list displays the wages, deductions, taxes and employer expenses that were assigned to this employee using the Employee Payroll Information window. If you wish to view more information about a specific item in the column, click the zoom arrow next to the name to display the item's Information window.
  4. In the remaining columns, enter the totals for each month in the quarter you selected in the Show Pay History for field, or the totals for each quarter if you selected Year-to-Date in the Show Pay History for field.
  1. Continue entering pay history for each of the wage categories that appears, for each of the quarters of the current payroll year.
  2. When you're satisfied with your entries for this employee, click OK. The Enter Your Employees' Pay History window will reappear. Repeat this task for each of your employees.
