If you no longer require reporting details for an employee, you can remove their record when:
An employee is generally a person working for your company who you pay on a regular basis; they may perform work your company requires on a day-to-day basis (such as administration, marketing, shipping) or work performed for your customers (on-site services, such as technical support or cleaning services).
Contact your accountant or local IRS office for more details on setting up different types of employees.
Creating employee records in Sage Simply Accounting lets you keep track of basic information, such as the employee's hire date and the amount you have paid the employee over a year. With an employee record, you can also process paychecks quickly, because pre-determined amounts are deducted automatically from your bank account.
Sage Simply Accounting allows you to add a new employee to the program without going through the formal process of creating a new employee record. For example, you have hired a group of 40 youth painters for summer painting jobs and need to get them into your database quickly before the first pay period.
You can add a employee "on the fly" when you process a paycheck. You can always go back later into the employee record to enter more information.
If you do not want to continue issuing paychecks for an employee, and the employee is not a salesperson, set their record to Inactive.
