Add or change the type of pay (wages)

We use pay types to calculate and report taxes correctly. You add pay types when you add your first employee. We display your pay types each time you:

• Add employees
• Edit employee pay details
• Create paychecks

To add or edit a pay type for an employee:

1. In the left navigation bar, click Employees.
2. Click the employee's name, and then click Edit employee.
3. Under How much do you pay this employee? click Add additional pay types if you haven't selected any other pay types, or click the pencil icon if you have.
4. Select the pay types you want to add or clear the checkbox next to pay types you want to remove.
5. Make any other changes as necessary.
6. Click Done.
