Paying Your Employees > Employee Defaults

Employee Defaults

To set up or review employee defaults, select Default Information from the Maintain menu, and choose Employees.

Here (and in the Payroll Setup Wizard or Payroll Settings), you enter basic setup information that applies to most of your employees and payroll transactions. Then, when you set up new employees and enter paychecks, the default information is automatically included. This can save a great deal of time during data entry.

Note: Sage 50 requires that you first complete the Payroll Setup Wizard before you access Employee Defaults. That's because the setup wizard will create most of the default information for you.

There are tabs of information in Employee Defaults:

General
