Setting Up Employee Additional Income

Use the Additional Income view tab to set up income other than salary or hourly wages for your employees. Before an Additional Income category can be assigned to an employee, it must be set up on the Additional Income window. For more information on setting up Additional Income categories, see “Chapter 10 Setting Up Additional Income”

1. Select the Income view tab on the Employees window.

2. Select an employee from the employee list if one is not already selected.

The categories that appear in the Company Categories list are those that were set up with the Additional Income window.

Tip:  You can also double-click an Additional Income category to assign it to an employee.

To stop the category from being applied mid year, simply modify the amount/rate to zero in the Employee set up.

1. Select the Additional Income category from the Employee’s Additional Income list.
2. Click Remove.
