Editing an Employee's Settings

Editing your employee's payroll settings is accomplished on the Employer-Employee Settings Screen where you will be presented with a multi-tabbed input area. Each tab is classified according to the settings it contains:

Employer: employer personal settings, state designation, and tax identification numbers
Employee: employee personal information, default setting, and notes
Federal: federal settings
General State: state designation and employee and employer-paid unemployment tax settings
Special State: state settings particular to the designated state, if any
Local: preset local taxes, if any, and employer configured local taxes
Payment: payment frequency, type, and rates, including hourly rates and an overtime multiplier

To edit a tax setting, (1) select an employee from the active employee list, (2) click on the desired tab, and edit the setting with your keyboard or mouse. All your transactions going forward will be affected by your change. Previously calculated payroll transactions will not be affected. As an example, to change your employee's pay rate, click on the tab labeled "Payments" and make the desired changes.
