Create an Employee On the Fly

There may be times you just want to quickly add an employee. You can add employees "on the fly" when you process a paycheque in Sage 50 Accounting. However, you must also include any necessary payroll information at that time.

Note: You can add employees on the fly in the Employee Records window by just entering their name. These are incomplete employees, and you cannot create paycheques for them in the Paycheques window or when running payroll.

To add an employee "on the fly" when processing a paycheque:

  1. In the Paycheques window, in the Employee box, type the name of the new employee.
  2. Click Add.
  3. On the Personal tab, in the Birth Date box, type in the employee's date of birth.
  4. On the Taxes tab, in the Tax Table list, select the province or territory in which this employee works.
  5. On the Income tab, in the Pay Periods Per Year list, select the number of times this employee gets paid.
  6. Click Save and Close.
  7. Complete processing the paycheque for this employee.
