The summary tab of enter payments provides you with a range of useful payroll totals for each employee you view.

Let's take a closer look.

Enter payments

Before you open enter payments, you must set the process date to the date you pay your employees. This ensures that your calculations are based on your pay date.

1. Click Payroll, then Change Process Date.
2. Enter the process date, then click OK.
3. Highlight the employees that you want to check.
4. Click Payroll then click Enter Payments.
5. Click the Summary tab.

If you select more than one employee then open enter payments you can easily select which employee to view:

• Click First, Previous, Next or Last to move through the employees you selected
• Click Select to view a list of employees. Click the employee you'd like to view and click OK
• Use the Find button to search for an employee that you haven't already selected

View employee values

The summary tab provides the values for the employee you're currently processing.

There are two columns for each item in the summary tab. The Current column provides values for the period you're processing. If you're using the advanced pay option in the current period, you can find these values under the Advanced column.

You can find totals for:

• Pre and post tax payments and deductions
• Statutory payments
• Total gross and taxable gross pay
• Attachment of earnings orders, pension contributions and employee loan repayments
• Tax, National Insurance, Student Loan and Postgraduate loan
• Net pay

Make up basic

Depending on your employee's contract, you may need to process an employee's normal wage when they're receiving statutory pay. You can easily do this with the make up basic feature, which you can find in the summary tab.
