Giving a Raise to an Employee

[Chadman23]

The help menu keeps referring to the raise button---I don't see it. I have Complete Accounting. I need to increase someones salary, but not sure how to do it. Do I click on the Pay Info tab and then enter the new semi-monthly rate in the salary row and save it? From what date going forward will this be effective? Thanks in advance.

The Raise History feature is only available in the Premium Accounting version.

Create a wage field name on the Pay Info tab of the employee default task. Edit the individual's employee profile and put their new rate in this added field. On their payroll data, use this wage field going forward.

Thank you for the reply---I don't know why they would provide help for a version I don't have and then not provide anything for the version I do have. Anyway, I am still not sure I follow how to do this in the pay info tab. I doesn't appear that I can create a new row---I can't edit the field name. If I undcheck the Std then I can enter a new semi-monthly rate but it adds the current one and the new one together. Should I remove the old one and put the new rate in? Will that change the past pay periods to the new rate? If you could walk me through it with a little more detail---It would be a big help to me. Thanks
