Editing Earnings on a Paycheck

Existing lines in the Earnings subtab are editable. However, unless you need to reduce an amount, you should add new lines. New lines always have a value of Yes in the read-only Manual Entry field. When you recalculate, manual entries are untouched, but, in certain circumstances, values that are calculated automatically can be cleared and recalculated.

To edit earning on a paycheck

  1. While editing a paycheck (see Editing an Individual Paycheck from a Payroll Batch), click the Earnings subtab.

  2. In the Earnings field, select an earning item assigned to this employee.

    For example, if an employee is receiving a bonus, select a bonus payroll item.

  3. In the Hours/Base field, enter the number of hours worked or another number to be multiplied by the rate shown in the Rate field.

    Note:

    In some cases, such as when an employee is receiving a bonus, you can set the Hours/Base field to 0.

  4. If this earning item is related to a project, select the appropriate service item in the Service Item field.

  5. If this earning item is related to a customer, select the appropriate customer in the Customer field.

  6. Click Add.

    For each new earning item that you add to this paycheck, the Manual Entry field is set to Yes.

  7. Repeat these steps to select more earning items for this employee.

  8. Click Save.
