How do I enter my employee salary or hourly rate in the employee setup “earnings and deductions” tab?
When I go to the “earnings and deductions” tab after entering the employee payroll information, the earnings and deductions grids are empty. Press the “Retrieve Default Items” button to generate a list of payroll earnings and deduction / benefit available to assign values based on definitions created in the payroll defaults setup. If the grids are still empty (zero records added to the grid) after pressing the “Retrieve Default Items”, then you have not defined any “payroll defaults” items from the setup menu. See question, what is the purpose of the “payroll defaults” in setup? If you added new payroll defaults since you setup the employee, you can press the “Retrieve Default Items” button again to obtain the new item or items. You can also click the first row in each grid and select from a drop down list for the “payroll item” column to add an item without using the retrieve button.
