Accept the check Date displayed (3/15/03) by pressing 
e
The Hours Worked, from the Maintain Employees window, are listed in 
the bottom left of the window. The hours can be adjusted for this 
paycheck, if necessary.
Notice that all the Employee/Employer Fields entered in the Default 
Information display in the bottom right of the window. All of the fields 
we asked the program to calculate for us—Federal Income, Social 
Security, Medicare, and State Income—have been calculated, and display 
as negative amounts (because they decrease the check amount). 
Accrued Vacation (entered as a memo field) displays as a positive 
amount but is present for record purposes. It does not affect the balance 
of the paycheck. The EmployER field also displays (as a positive 
number) to record employer taxes. This field also does not affect the net 
amount of the check.

In the Employee text box, type DGROHS-01 and press 
e.
Notice that Derrick has the same payment and deduction categories as 
Michelle Wang. The only difference is he has a single Salary field where 
Michelle’s record had three types of hourly rates.
Once everything is set up properly, payroll takes very little effort. Just 
check the Check Date field and leave the Check Number blank to have 
the program print a check. If no special adjustments need to be made, 
save the record.

Save and post this paycheck, by selecting the Post button.

Press 
q to close the window.
Instead of entering one paycheck at a time, you could alternately enter a batch 
of paychecks and print them at the same time by using the Select for Payroll 
Entry option from the Tasks menu.
