The new (to us) store is turning into actual work — a JOB (shudder…)
Today was our first payroll — everything went just fine (using QuickBooks with their manual payroll plugin) except for my defining the pay periods. People are paid twice/month - got that right. Overtime is at 40 hours - OK. Cut the checks and everyone including the part-timers got substantial quantities of OT. Should have set it to 80 hours for the two week pay period.
OK so go back and manually re-enter the correct data and reprint the checks only to find that the new checks show the previous check amounts in the Year-To-Date column for taxes and withholdings.
Can't delete the old checks, can't purge the account and start over so I have to sit through and VOID out about 20 checks and re-enter from scratch. I can see why it is done this way, after all, I did print out all checks twice and if they were deposited, they would be valid but still, a minor user annoyance — it would have been nice to have SU or root access to the chart of accounts and just fix it without the program trying to save me from myself…
So anyway, I'm doing some surfing and having a nice glass of Cabernet and will head up to bed in an hour or so.
