Select Payroll Main menu > Check Register/Update. Verify the information on the window and then click Print. The Payroll Expense and Tax Accrual window appears if the Allow G/L Accrual Postings check box is selected in Payroll Options.

Overview

Payroll Expense and Tax Accrual allows the update of payroll postings to the general ledger to be based on the period the work was actually performed instead of the standard posting by payroll accounting date. For example, if the current pay period falls partially or completely within a month different from the accounting date, wage expense, tax expense, and accruals can be posted on a percentage basis to the period in which the work was performed.

The calculated percentage is based on the payroll accounting date and pay-period-ending date and can be manually overridden before updating the Check Register. This feature is available only if the Allow G/L Accrual Postings check box is selected in Payroll Options.

Note The Check Register prints the accrual date and percentage on a line below the bank code information.

Department Maintenance is used to establish the accrual options and accrual account for each department.
