To my knowledge, there is no "template" you can setup for a new employee file. If there is, I would love to know about it as well.

For revisions, I always make them in the current weeks payroll, NEVER in a posted week. For example; if I have to change a certified class, pay ID, etc. from a previous week, I'll do the first line with negative hours with the original information (certified class, pay ID, etc.), and then do a second line with positive hours with the information. I import payroll so I always double check to make sure the hours zero out. Hope this is helpful!

I am not aware of an employee template either and I would like to know if there is one as well!

In regards to certified payroll revisions, we always void the incorrect check and then make the necessary corrections on that check. If you do not do it this way, then your certified payroll reports are incorrect since the actual work dates will not line up correctly. We also do it this way as our consultant said doing negative and then positive earnings entries on the same check will calculate the taxes incorrectly. The taxes should always be calculated based on the correct check. 

There is a Sage KB article that explains how to do this if the check was already paid. Here is the link: support.na.sage.com/.../viewdocument.do

thank you

When you do the in and out does it correct the certified fringe as well because we moved from 1 job to another and it did not modify the cash fringe

JDevlin, we don't pay cash fringes so I'm not sure how that works. We pay our fringes to a plan and all it does is reverse the incorrect fringe amount (if was previously incorrect) and calculate the new rate, that way when we generate our weekly fringe report by employee it's corrected within that weeks fringes due to the plan. Did you post payroll yet after changes were made?

Yes we have
