Hi Joanne Mustard ,

Great question! If you need to add piece work amounts for your employees in Sage 50, you can do this by using the "Piece Rate" income type. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Select the employee's paycheque and go to the Income tab.
2. Find the option to add a new income line.
3. From the income types available, select "Piece Rate."
4. Enter the number of items produced by the employee and the rate per item.
5. The piece work amount will then be calculated based on the rate and the quantity entered.

By using the "Piece Rate" income type, the piece work amounts will show up as a separate line on the employee's paycheque, allowing for clear and accurate payroll records.

For a detailed overview of different payroll income types and how to manage them, you can refer to Sage 50’s guide on Payroll Income Types.

And just to ensure everything is processed correctly, here are some additional steps to complete the paycheque:

• Verify the Cheque number and Check Date.
• Confirm the Pay Period End Date.
• If you need to print the cheque, select the Printer Icon.
• Finally, select Process/Post to finalize the paycheque.

If this helps, please mark it as verified :)

Warm regards,
