How do I enter payroll checks?

Enter payroll data, including payroll exceptions, to calculate payroll checks. An exception happens when an amount or quantity that is used to calculate an employee's payroll check needs to be updated with a different amount or quantity than the amount or quantity that is usually used in the calculation.

Some examples of common exceptions may include entering leave hours, sick leave, or compensation.

You can
