Auto Post

Overview

The Company Auto Post screen defines which items go on new paychecks when they are created when payroll is started/restarted or by clicking the New Pay button on the Employee Pay Entry screen.  Typically this is used to place blank items on check that can be filled when the payroll is being keyed but it can also be used to do mass special payments to employees (for instance Holiday pay or a special Bonus).

 

Fields

•      DET – Specifies that the item is a Deduction/Earning or Tax code.

•      Order – Defines the order on the paycheck detail where the item will appear.

•      Code – The Deduction/Earning/Tax code.

•      Hours – The number of hours to automatically place on the item.  This is not used often but can be very useful to automatically pay an 8 hour holiday to all or a group of employees.
