To set up the Payroll module, you need to define preferences such as integration and module defaults in the PR Module Preferences window.

For example, you can define the default format to use when you print payroll checks and direct deposit stubs, the maximum garnishment percentage an employee’s pay can be garnished each pay period, whether or not you want to use multi-batch mode, and the level of encryption to use for employee Social Security numbers.

(Fund product only) You can also set up the system to automatically create balancing due to/due from transactions when you save payroll entries by selecting the Auto due to / from check box. If you select this check box, you can also set the default fund for all due to/due from transactions. This ensures all due to/due from entries are complete and that your funds will stay in balance when you post transactions.

To access this window, select Options > Set Up the Module Preferences from the left navigation pane.
