General Tab

The General Tab will have your company’s name address, and Tax ID information. This will auto populate from the GL module, but it can be overridden. This information will print on the reports.

There are 2 things to note on this page.

1.The Password field. A password can be added to this module; however, it is NOT possible to retrieve this password. We urge you to use the System Security to keep employees out of this module.

2.Default #Pay Periods/Year. This is a default that can be overridden at the employee level. This field is very important in calculating taxes during the Payroll Cycle.
