Page Sections and Tabs

The Payroll page includes the following data entry areas. After you complete the page's Payroll and Special Pays sections, the Federal Tax, State Tax, Local Tax, and EIC tabs open in succession.

Payroll Section	Identifies the employee's check location, last date paid, pay frequency, and FLSA calculation data. It also has a field for determining whether the employee will be issued timecards and if so, whether the timecard applies to the Time Entry System. The information in this section applies to all of the employee's rates except special pays.

State Tax Tab	Stores exemption and withholding settings for calculating the employee's state taxes.
Local Tax Tab	Stores exemption and withholding settings for calculating the employee's local taxes.
EIC Tab	Specifies the employees' Earned Income Credit filing status for historical purposes only.
