The Payroll Date Entry program is used for entering the dates for the current payroll period. You may only enter checks once per date cycle.

There may be times when you need to write a payroll check that does not correspond with the frequency date.  (For example: employee's last check.)  You must first go into "Payroll Setup" (9.4.2) and change the Pay Day to match the date of the payroll check. Now you may go into "Payroll Date Entry" and put the correct date for the check. Don't forget to change the pay date back to the original date when you are finished.

The Location is the Location for the Payroll. It may not necessarily be your current Location.

The current start date is the date the payroll starts for that period. The current end date is the last day of the payroll period.

The current payroll date is the date that the check is being written for.

The system will automatically display the valid Payroll Frequencies for the current payroll date entered. You will not be able to make payroll entries for those employees not matching these Payroll Frequencies.

If you have multiple locations, you can copy the Payroll Date information to all of your Locations. This will save you from having to retype the dates for each Location. After you have entered a <S> to save the information, you will see the prompt:  "Enter <C> to Copy this set up to ALL other Location".
