Terminated Employees

[mdison]

Ok maybe I'm a numbskull but when I click on tasks, select for payroll entry, and select all, am I asking too much for terminated employees not to show up? Isn't the whole idea of terminating them so that I don't have to pay them any more? Am I missing something? Is there a way to have just just un-terminated employees show up on this list? This, plus the fact that I can't save any entries I make if I have to go back to check or change employee information has me a bit disillusioned, I purchased Peachtree because I thought it was a premium product!

Under Maintain, Employees, click the Inactive box for any employees that you no longer wish to view. Under Options, and then Global, select Hide Inactive Records. Remove the check box under Options and Global if you later wish to view the inactive records.

Regarding the inability to save payroll transactions, you can always click the Save button in the payroll screen, and then later click Open and select the saved record to edit it before you print the employee check. If I've misunderstood the issue, provide more background and I'm sure someone can help.

Thanks David! I completely missed the inactive check box on the employee record! That seems to work.

The second one tho, I don't have a save button? After selection the employees, I get a window to enter the hous and pay for each employee selected! The window has: close, select, Print, All, All, Detail, Jobs, and a Help button! I don't see any where I can save anything!

I had a similar question about the payroll entry and the save/print options. This is what I have discovered: If you use the "Select for Payroll Entry" screen, there is no "save" function available. If you select the "Payroll Entry" screen, there is a save function.

The same is true with AP checks. If I go to the "Select for Payment" screen, I do not have the "save" function. If I pay from the "Payments" screen I do have the option of saving or printing.

This just seems very awkward. I like the "select" option, but do not like to be locked into printing at that time.

I am rather new to Peachtree, and am having mixed opinions of the program.

You're right, the "Select For..." options don't provide a way to save the batch. If you need to review your entries, it's better to use the Payroll Entry or Payments screens and process items one at a time. You can always batch print the resulting checks by choosing the check form under the corresponding section of the Reports menu.
