Enter Pay Information for a Salaried Employee
When you set up a salaried employee, you have to choose a pay frequency and then enter the salary amounts that will paid to the employee for each pay period. Follow these steps:
- From the Maintain
menu, select
- Enter or select the record of the employee you want to set up.
- Select the Pay Info tab.
- From the Pay Method drop-down list, select Salary.
- If this is a Time & Billing employee, enter an hourly billing rate for the employee.
- From the Frequency drop-down list, select the appropriate pay frequency for the employee. You can choose among the following:
- weekly
- bi-weekly
- bi-monthly
- semi-monthly
- monthly
- annually
- You have the option to enter the Hours Per Pay Period that the employee worked. This information is primarily used for reporting purposes. When you create a paycheck in Payroll Entry for this salary employee, the hours entered will not affect the amount of the paycheck.
- In the grid at the center of the window, enter the salary rate for each of the pay levels set up in Employee Defaults. The amounts you enter should be based on the chosen pay frequency. See the example below.
- Once you've entered the salary rate for the employee, the Salary Total fields at the bottom of the tab will reflect totals for the chosen pay period and for the year.
Sage 50 displays the Maintain Employees/Sales Reps window.
Salary Rate Example
Say you pay your employee on a semi-monthly basis, and that his salary includes a base salary plus a bonus. You want to pay the employee a semi-monthly salary of $1,500 and a bonus of $250 every pay period. His total for each pay period would thus be $1,750.
Because the employee is paid twice monthly, he receives 24 paychecks. His total annual salary would thus be $1,500 + $250 X 24 = $42,000.
At the bottom of the Pay Info tab, you would see the following totals:
Total Semi-monthly Salary: 1,750.00
Annual Salary: 42,000.00
The following table lists the number of pay periods for each of the five available pay frequencies.
