Missing a pay type in employee pay details

Show or hide pay type columns

When you run payroll, you can choose the pay types you want to see and hide the rest. Hiding columns you don't need helps you enter hours and compensation more efficiently.

1. Click the gear icon to see the Edit columns window. It shows all the pay types you've added.

You won't see the gear icon if you haven't added any pay types.

2. Select the checkbox next to the pay types you want to see.

Select ONLY the pay types you have already used or plan to use this year. You don't want unnecessary and possibly confusing types to appear on your pay details page.

3. Clear the checkbox for the pay types you want to hide.

Important: A couple of things you should know about hiding stuff:

• If you hide a pay type column that contains an amount, that amount won't be included in the total pay. And it won't be saved for the next time you show this pay type column.
• If your employees are paid as salary or hourly, you can't hide those pay types. (They won't even appear in the list of pay types that you can hide.)
4. Click outside of the Edit columns window to close it and see the selected columns in the table. Your changes are saved automatically for future payroll runs.
