Default Employee

1. First set the system to check for a default employee.
   
   Setup -> Payroll -> Payroll Setup -> Options & Tab Stops TAB
   
   Enable the Define new employee based on the default employee check box.
   
   
2. If you have not done the first step then the system will ignore any employee you enter and set to the default employee.
   
   
3. If you have done the step above and you have not entered any employees. The system will automatically mark the first employee entered as the default employee. If you have already entered employees the system will display a message:
   
   Standard new employee settings not configured
   Use this record for standard new employee setting?
   
   You can either say "YES" and use the employee your are entering as the default employee or say "NO" and selection another employee as the default employee.
   
   
4. While entering the default employee you must enter all the desired information before clicking OK. If you don't then you must make sure you enable the Define new employee based on the default employee check box before clicking OK or else nothing you changed will be conceded part of the default employee record snap shot.
   
   An example would be you entered the Federal Tax Jurisdiction for the default employee clicked OK to accept the screen. Then you realized you forgot to enter the State Tax Jurisdiction information. If you went right back in and entered it and then clicked OK without first enabling the Define new employee based on the default employee check box then the State Tax Jurisdiction will not appear on any new employees entered. To correct this bring up the default employee and enable the Define new employee based on the default employee check box and click OK. This will update the default employee snap shot.
