You can make default settings for all your employees' pays and use these defaults to quickly prepare your payroll.

If you need to adjust a default for a single period, just open the pay sheet for an employee and make the required change. The change you enter will only be applied to the current period, and the pay sheet will reset to the default in the next period.

To calculate your pays
  1. Go to the Maintenance command centre and click Maintain Employees.
  2. Click the Pay Defaults/Totals tab.
  3. In the Quantity column, enter the standard amount of hours/days against the ORD or SALARY pay code.
  4. Check through the list of pay codes and set up any other allowances or deductions which occur with each pay.
  5. Click Close.
  6. Go to the Prepare Pays command centre and click Calculate Default Pays.
  7. At the Calculate Pays window, select the pay frequency.
  8. Click OK. The default settings you have applied will now appear in the Enter Pays window, and the pays will be activated.
