Include Commissions

Select this check box to instruct the payroll generation function to process the Commission Due records. This function is performed after all other payroll transaction generation is completed.

Commission Due records are only processed for salespersons that meet both of the following criteria:

• The salesperson is not outside
• The salesperson's reference number is a valid employee number already in the payroll transaction Edit list.

If the employee is not paid within the pay period group being generated and commissions are due, only warning messages display; no commissions are posted. The total Commission Due amount is summarized into the first Deductions and Earnings field of the transaction with the D/E code being copied from the salesperson file.

Once added to the payroll, Commission Due records are marked as paid so that they are unavailable for payment at a later date. Commission is not marked as paid until the payroll check is posted.
