One employee has two tasks in the same company so he has two rate of salary, how to pay him?

SOLVED

I use Time Slips to record working hours for employees. But when I tried to use Time slips to pay cheque to pay employees I found the following problems:

1. I know how to use Time Slips to pay cheque to employees but in reality, one of our employees has three tasks, each task corresponds different money per hour. Example, John is a new employee who offers our company the service of reparation, 30$/hour. And every evening after work, he offers the company the service of cleaning, 10$/hour. My question is if I can use one paycheque to pay him? How? What I have done is in the module of "Employees and payroll" to create the file of John, then "Income" I typed 30$ in the blank of "Regular" for service of reparation but where should I put in his service of cleaning ,10$ as pay unit? I have noted that without typing the pay unit 10$, SImply Accounting can't produce paycheque correctly even though datas come from Time Slips.

2. The system alart me that "Until you finish entering payroll history détails, you must calculate and enter all taxes manually. Automatic calculation could generate inaccurate numbers if entering history has not been completed." But in John's case, he is new employee. In our company he has no history détails. But SImply Accounting alarts me everytime when I try to paycheque. What should I do?

Thank you.

    Hi Sylviesu,

    For question #1, you can go to Setup, Settings, Payroll, Income to setup 1 more hourly paid income.  Then, the regular income can be used for Task A and second income can be used for task B.  When you create the time slip for that employee, you can select different payroll incomes to match the tasks.  When you import the time slip of that employee in the Paycheque window, you will see the information going to different payroll income type.

    For information of how to setup a new payroll income, please follow the link below:

    For question #2, it means you are still in Historical mode.  You can confirm that by looking at the menu bar of your Sage 50 home window and find the option History still be there.  If you have already entered all the historical information, please backup your file first,  then go to History and select Finish Entering History.
