Calculate Pays
Menu: View ~ Activity ~ Calculate Pay
Button Panel: n/a
This form shows a list of all the pays for the current selected pay date. It lists the employee name, pay type (normal, adjustment or supplementary), and the total gross, deductions, benefits and net for each pay.
The three payslip types fulful different functions:
- Normal Pay is the main payment an employee receives each pay period. It is usually the only payment.
- Supplementary Pay is a second or subsequent payment to an employee in a pay period. The tax is calculated by accumulating the gross pay of the normal and all supplementary pays in the pay period, calculating the tax on the total and then subtracting the total of tax on the normal pay and all other supplementary pays.
- Adjustment pay is used to update the payee's year to date totals with the total of pays made outside of Kwikpay. The tax will not be calculated automatically - you have to enter the amount of tax as a separate pay item.
The sequence number allows you to enter more than one payslip of a given type for a single employee on one pay day.
Click a button to update any of the pays:
- New creates a new pay
- Edit changes the current selected pay's details
- Delete deletes the current selected pay
When you click the New or Edit buttons, the Calculate Pay form is displayed.
Updating previous periods
When you select a previous pay period, the editing buttons are not displayed, so you cannot make any changes.
If you wish to change a previous pay, you can do so by selecting File, Options from the main menu, and then checking the 'Update Pay history' check box. This option is not saved. When you close and restart Kwik-Pay, you will no longer be able to update pay history, until you select the 'Update pay history' option again.
