How to get to this screen: Click on
Payroll, then
Override File.
On this screen, you can override any automatic calculations that will be done for any employee and for any specific withholding field. This must be done before you run
Calculate Pay.
When you run
Calculate Pay the program will check to see if an override record exists for that pay period. If it exists then any field that has a number greater than 0 will be used instead of the automatic calculation.
The amounts are not annual. The dollar amounts that you enter here are used 'as is' for the pay period override. All amounts entered here will be ERASED after the pay period is closed. Overrides must be re-entered for every pay period.
