Advanced Feature - Entering Permanent Pay

You can use Permanent Payroll Check Entry as a labor-saving tool to enter information for employees whose paychecks are usually the same for each pay period.  This is often useful for salaried employees and hourly employees who regularly work the same number of hours each pay period.

Tip:  Some installations enter permanent pay for all employees to act as templates and to insure no employees are overlooked during the Payroll Run.

Notes:

• The programs for Payroll Check Entry and Permanent Payroll Check Entry are very similar, although they update different files.  The following guidelines can help you determine when to use each program.

• Use Permanent Payroll Check Entry as a labor-saving tool to enter information for employees whose paychecks are usually the same for each pay period, such as salaried employees.  You only have to enter the information once, because it is automatically copied during each Payroll Run.

• Use Payroll Check Entry to enter non-routine paychecks and to correct or edit permanent pay information for the current pay period.

Note:  Payroll prevents you from opening both Payroll Check Entry and Permanent Payroll Check Entry at the same time.

• After running Permanent Pay Transfer, you can make corrections to the permanent pay data for non-routine paychecks during Payroll Check Entry.
