Overview
Starting with the release of AccountEdge Desktop r34.0.19, a new feature was introduced: Pay Frequency now includes Hours for Salaried Employees.
When processing a paycheck for a salaried employee, the Hours per Pay Period defined in their card file will automatically populate in the paycheck — even for salary-type wage categories.
Some states require hours on payroll records for reporting purposes. These hours are pulled from the employee's card and are used for reporting only — they do not affect any payroll calculations or net pay amounts.
Why Hours Appear on the Paycheck
The hours are sourced from the employee's card file: Card File → Payroll Details tab → Wages → Hours per Pay Period. These pre-fill into the paycheck line for the salary wage category and are visible in the Pay Employee window under the HOURS column.
How to Disable Hours Pre-Filling on Salary Paychecks
If you do not want hours to pre-fill automatically, uncheck the option on the wage category:
Go to
Payrollmodule →Payroll Categories→Wages.Open the salary wage (e.g., Base Salary).
At the bottom of the Wages Information window, uncheck
Use Employee Pay Period Hours on Paycheck.Click
OKto save.
Once unchecked, the HOURS column for this wage will remain blank when processing paychecks.
