We use a payroll service, so I have not set up the payroll module. Given that, what is the correct transaction to account for an employee's payroll deduction that they want to apply toward their tithe?

Or do I need to set up the payroll module? I'm not sure how I would do that since we use a service.

Currently I do something similar with the employee's HSA contribution.

5063 Employee HSA Paycheck#1 Credit 100
5063 Employee HSA Check to HSA Bank Acct Debit 100

But I don't know how to show $ from the paycheck going into the general fund

Anyone want to tackle this? I'd be grateful

The entry for showing a payment of $500 to an employee looks like this:
CR 01-1110-000 checking $500
DB 01-5100-000 employee pay $500

If you want to show that the employee receives $500, and the church gets $50 then do this:
CR 01-1110-000 checking $500
DB 01-5100-000 employee pay $500

DB 01-1110-000 checking $50
CR 01-4100-000 tithes $50

-----------

Which can be shortened to this:
CR 01-1110-000 checking $450
CR 01-4100-000 tithes $50
DB 01-5100-000 employee pay $500

Because the church is only out $450.00

The next thing you'll have to do is manually add a Contribution for the person, and post that Contribution using the 'Post to Contributions Module only' option.

Thank you both so much!!!
