If you have many employees whom you pay on a regular basis, you do not have to issue paychecks one at a time. By processing payroll for some or all of your employees at once, you can save considerable time and effort.
When you first open the Payroll Check Run window, Sage Simply Accounting automatically selects the unpaid employees based on one or more of these filters:
If the selection is set up to use check date, the date in the Check Date box along with the Pay Period Frequency and Auto-select option determine who is selected on the list.
When you process a check run, you can accept or change the income and benefit amounts for each employee. The check date for the payroll run must be the same as the session date. However, if you want to issue paychecks with dates in the previous fiscal year, you must issue individual checks, calculating taxes manually.
Before you can process a payroll check run, the following payroll linked accounts must be set up:
If you are using payroll expense groups, ensure
that these accounts are set for every group.
If you are using departments,
you can also allocate payroll
amounts to multiple departments.
