Processing a payroll increase

[randmtx]

It has been a while, since we initially setup Power Church Ver 9 and I need to increase the custodian salary. I have updated it under Payroll- Maintain List Users/Payroll Information. I need to know how to activate it and recalculate the withholdings, so I can print his next paycheck. Any help would be appreciated.

The actual payroll amounts and tax calculations happen on the Maintain Employee Pay Items screen. Open this, look up the employee, then change each item that needs to change by selecting the item and clicking the Change button.

I have tried doing this, but it won't let me change the amounts for Soc Sec or Medicare. Also, the calculations below the items shows the old payroll amount. It appears that it is automatically calculating the the amounts based on the pay. It shows the updated pay amount above the listing, but the listing below shows the old calculations. I thought maybe if I printed a check using the new amount it would update, but it has no effect.

If you are not able to change the deduction amounts, it sounds like there is a tax table doing the calculations. If this is the case, the deduction amounts should update automatically, once you have changed the income amount.

So, you said the amount showing at the top of the screen is right, which is pulled from the Maintain List of Employees screen, but the amount in the grid is wrong. When you click on the income item, then go down and click on the Change button, it does not allow you to enter the income amount?

Once you change the amount there, it should update everything on the screen with the new figures.

The problem was found, it was cockpit error behind the keyboard. It is funny, how you work on computers for years and something so simple bites you. I just did not notice the scroll bar on the right. I am use to seeing the top listings and scrolling down, was not expecting to see the bottom items and have to look to scroll up.
