Add a commission to regular paychecks

You can add commission to any payroll run. Of course, you can also cut separate commission checks any time you like.

Did you remember to set up a commission pay type for your employees? If you didn't, you won't see the Commission column when you run payroll. Tell me how.

To add commission to regular paychecks:

1. In the left navigation bar, click Employees.
2. Click Run payroll.
3. If you use more than one pay schedule, select a pay schedule, and then click Continue.
4. Select the checkbox next to each employee to include in this payroll.
5. Enter the hours for each employee who is paid by the hour.
6. Enter the commission amount for each employee who gets a commission.
7. Optionally, enter a message to appear in the Memo field of the check or pay stub.
8. Click Preview payroll, and then click Submit payroll.
9. Optionally, click Print checks or Print pay stubs. (The checks or pay stubs open in a separate page.)
10. Click Finish payroll.
