Use Enter Time to enter earnings information. For example, the pay employees receive, the hours worked and what jobs, cost codes, and categories employees worked on. Enter Time is the fastest and simplest way to enter payroll earnings information. Time entry views make earnings entry easy since they make entry windows look similar to your actual time cards. For instructions on how to customize your time entry view, select the link below.

To record earnings, tax, deduction, and fringe information all at once, use Enter Checks instead of Enter Time. You can also use it to enter earnings information for checks you already issued, such as manual checks.

1. In Payroll, from the Tasks menu, select Enter Time.
2. Enter a time entry view, Period begin date (optional), Period end date, and click OK.
    NOTE: If the period end date matches an existing check with a status of New or Altered, the time is added to the check. If the check is Processed, the time updates the check and changes the status to Altered. Process the checks again before printing.
3. Enter one line of detail in the grid for each earnings distribution, and click Accept line for each line.
    NOTE: If you consistently accept prefilled entries, use Customize Time Entry to modify the time entry view not to include the prefilled column, or use Autoset.
4. Repeat step 3 to continue entering time for the current employee or addition employees in this pay period. When done proceed to step 5.
5. Click Finish.
6. Make any necessary print selections and click Start.
7. Review the journal.
