  1. From the Main Menu, select Admin -> Setup - Payroll -> General Benefits (Pay).

  2. Your screen should look similar to this:

  3. Enter data in the following categories:

    1. Hrly/Slry: Select Hourly or Salary from the pull-down list. This is the employee group that is affected by the benefit amount. If the benefit affects BOTH hourly and salaried workers, you will need to create two entries.

    2. Description: Enter the description of this pay that will show on check summaries, etc.

    3. How Figured: Select method of calculation from the pull-down list.

    4. Grp.: Select employee Group from the pull-down list. Each employee can be designated as being part of one group. If you want a pay amount only to affect a specific group, then select the group name here, and make sure the same group name is selected in each employee record.

    5. Rate: Enter the rate of pay(percentage or flat amount - depending on choice in HOW FIGURED).

    6. GL Expense Account: Enter the GL Expense Account where this pay will be posted. USING THE AUTO-LOOKUP FEATURE on GL Account Numbers - Enter the GL Account, Name or any portion of the number, name or description to see a drop-down list of matching account numbers. Highlight the account to enter it into the field. A space bar will bring up ALL accounts valid for this field, HOWEVER this is not recommended due to limitations on the length of the list that can be viewed.

    7. Delete the line: Check this box to remove this General Benefit from the Payroll System.
