There are several methods by which to pay employees during payroll entry. The pay method is selected on the Pay Info tab of the Maintain Employees/Sales Reps window.
Sage 50 provides up to three payment methods:
- Salary: This pay method is used for salary employees, those who are paid a set amount of gross pay per payroll period. The salary pay rate and the number of hours entered for the employee display when entering a paycheck on the Payroll Entry window. You can override the salary amount or hours worked anytime during payroll entry. Tell me more about the default number of hours per pay period.
- Hourly-Hours Per Pay Period: This method is used for hourly employees who normally work a set number of hours per pay period. The number of hours entered for the employee in the Hours Per Pay Period field will display as hours worked during each payroll entry prior to printing or saving a paycheck. You can override the standard number of hours worked anytime during payroll entry. Tell me more about the default number of hours per pay period.
- Hourly-Time Ticket Hours: This pay method is used for hourly employees who base their hours worked on time tickets recorded during the payroll period. (Sage 50 Premium Accounting and higher) When you enter time tickets for an employee working on a project for a customer or job, the sum of those time-ticket hours are used during payroll entry to issue a paycheck.
