If you're creating an employee card, it's very important that you fully set up the employee's payroll information before you begin writing paycheques to the employee. Also, before you enter payroll information about an employee, be sure your payroll linked accounts and payroll categories are properly set up. See Payroll Categories Overview to learn about payroll categories.
Choose a tax table that will be used when calculating amounts on a paycheque and enter other employment information for your employees using this view. A tax code must be selected in order to use an employee card on a paycheque.
This view displays buttons that, when clicked, give you access to the Employee Payroll Information, Pay History, Time Billing Employee Setup and Entitlement Balances windows. (A tax code must be entered in the Tax Table field in order to open the Employee Payroll Information window.)
Your selections in these windows are very important because they are the key components in determining the employee's net pay amount. Without complete and accurate entries, payroll calculations will be incorrect.
When you click the Info button to open the Employee Payroll Information window, you can assign wages, deductions and employer expenses.
Click the History button to open the Pay History window. Use the window to enter pay history for the pay periods that occurred before you started using Accounting Plus. When you start recording paycheques using Accounting Plus the amounts of the paychequesare automatically added to this window and are displayed on some reports.
When you click the Accruals button accrual balances will be displayed. Carry-over amounts can be changed, if necessary.
If the rate you charge for time billing activities depends upon the employee who performs the activity, you can assign an activity rate to your employee cards by choosing the Time Billing button. You can also track the cost of performing activities by entering an estimated cost per hour for your employees.
