Generate Payroll

Use this function to generate payroll transactions for a range of employees or departments. Once the transactions are generated, they can be viewed on the Payroll Log Hours for Pay Period form.

When payroll is generated using records entered through Time & Attendance, the Time and Attendance log is marked as posted at the time of the generation. For this reason, the generation ignores the posted flag during payroll generation. Therefore, after successfully posting payroll, you should purge the Time and Attendance log so that these transactions are not picked up a second time if you intend to generate transactions for a period for which you have already posted checks.

On the Actions menu, the Compute Payroll command computes employees' withholdings and net pay, and generates the Compute Payroll report.
