Overview

The Payroll module of Drake Accounting will pull the rates and hours from the Employee > Employee Setup > Payroll Wages for each employee by default.

Employee rates and hours

When you access either Live or ATF under the Payroll module, the default amounts are shown in the Rates & Hours​ section for the selected employee. The lower boxes, for ​Total Regular Hours, ​Hours Worked, an Overtime Hours, are inaccessible because they calculate based on the Rates & Hours entries.

If the payroll should calculate using a different number of hours or rate, and the change is temporary, modify the Rate, ​Hours, and/or OT boxes as needed. The changes will update the calculated fields after pressing TABor ENTER or moving to a different field.

Changes under Rates & Hours affect only the current instance and are discarded after the window is saved or closed.

Note  For recurring differences, it is recommended to add additional Rates for the employee.
