Menu: View ~ Activity ~ Calculate Pay
Button Panel: n/a

You can change the paid to date for the pay, the number of tax periods over which the tax is to be averaged, or add a message to be printed on the pay advice by clicking on the More button on the Calculate Pay form.

Date Paid To

This is the date to which the employee is being paid by this pay. It defaults to the period end date of the current pay period. If you change the number of periods below, the date paid to is changed automatically.

Number of Periods

The number of periods is set by the 'tax periods' pay item, but can be manually over-ridden here if required. A number entered here will average the tax of the whole pay slip.

The tax is calculated by dividing the gross pay by the number of periods entered, working out the tax on the result, and then multiplying the tax by the number of periods..

Message

Any text entered here is printed on the pay advice, just for this employee. You can enter a message for all employees in the Pay Advice Print form.

If you wish to have a message on multiple lines, press ctrl-enter to insert a line break.
