Selection Area

By using the element in this area, you can select the employee whose payroll information you want to enter, view, or modify.


Element	Description
Employee ID	The identifier of the employee whose payroll information you want to enter, view, or modify. The employee must first be set up on the Employees (EP203000) form.
Employee Name	The name of the selected employee as defined on the Employees (EP203000) form.
Active	A check box that indicates (if selected) that paychecks and payroll transactions can be created and processed for the employee. If the check box is cleared, no paycheck can be created for the employee, and the employee cannot be selected on the Payroll Batches (PR301000) form. If the employee's final paycheck is released on the Paychecks and Adjustments (PR302000) form, this check box becomes cleared.

General Tab

This tab contains general information about the employee.

When you select the payroll class for an employee, the remainder of the boxes on this tab become read-only and display the values previously established for the employee class, with all of the Use Class Default Value check boxes selected. For each box with the corresponding Use Class Default Value check box selected, the box's value is not stored directly in the employee record; instead, it is always copied from the employee class record. Thus, changes to the employee class are automatically applied to the appropriate employees without individual employee records needing to be updated.

If the particular Use Class Default Value check box is cleared, the applicable employee class default value is copied to the employee record, from which it can then be modified as needed. In this case, subsequent changes to the box's value at the employee class level no longer affect this specific employee’s setting for that box.

Start Date	The date when this earning type came (or comes, if it is a future date) into effect for this employee. This date can serve two possible purposes: To pre-enter future pay rates, such as raises that take effect on a certain date To establish a historical record of raises (for instance, rather than just changing the rate when a pay increase occurs, to deactivate the current record and create a new record with a new starting date) If there is more than one active record per earning type, the system uses the start date to determine which rate to use based on the date the work occurred (not the payment date). The start date must be unique for each employee and earning type; for example, the employee cannot have two different records, both of type NT, that have the same start date.
End Date	The date when this earning type became inactive for this employee. This date serves to establish a historical record of raises (for instance, when the record is deactivated, to record the date when this took effect).

Deductions and Benefits Tab

In the table on this tab, you can specify any deductions and benefits that may be used for the employee.

Table 12. Summary Area

The following options are available: Even: The remaining amount is divided evenly between the deductions. Pro-Rata: The remaining amount is divided through proration. For example, if deduction A is $300 and deduction B is $100, then A is 75% of the total of the two deductions; therefore, A receives 75% of the remaining amount, and B receives 25%, as opposed to the Even method, in which case both A and B would receive 50%.
Net Pay Minimum	The amount to be used when deductions and garnishments are applied. Net pay is not allowed to drop below this level (except on adjustments, which can go negative).
Maximum Percent of Net Pay for All Garnishments	The maximum percent of net pay that can go to garnishments.

Each check box indicates (if selected) that the value is not stored directly in the employee record; it instead is always copied from the employee class record. If the Use Class Default Value check box is cleared, the applicable employee class default value is copied to the employee record, from which it can then be modified as needed. In this case, subsequent changes to the box's value at the employee class level no longer affect this specific employee’s setting for that box.

Start Date	The date when this deduction or benefit came (or comes) into effect for this employee. This date serves two possible purposes: To pre-enter future codes (that is, codes that take effect at a certain point in time) To establish a historical record of deductions and benefits (for instance, rather than just changing the rate when a pay increase occurs, to deactivate the current record and create a new record with a new starting date) If there is more than one active record per code, the system uses the start date to determine which code to use based on the payment date. The start date must be unique for each employee and each code; for example, the employee cannot have two different records, both of type 401K, that have the same start date. The system compares the transaction date on the paycheck and the start date to define when to apply the code.
End Date	The date when this deduction or benefit became inactive for this employee. This date serves to establish a historical record of deductions and benefits (for instance, when the record is deactivated, to record the date when this took effect). The system requires entering of the end date if you add the same code twice.

In the Summary area of the tab, you specify a payment method and a cash account to be used for the payment. In the Direct Deposit table on this tab, you specify each bank account that receives direct deposit amounts for the employee. If no active direct deposit details exist, the employee should receive a printed paycheck; an employee receives either a printed paycheck or a direct deposit, but not both.

Tip:

If you change the settings while open paychecks are available in the system, the changes will be applied to the paychecks only if the paychecks are calculated.
