Enable/Disable Fields

If you don't intend to use a field(s), uncheck the box to the left of the field name.  Disabling fields you don't use allows you to increase data entry productivity (e.g. data entry personnel won't need to tab through the field(s) in which they don't enter data to get to the ones they do).

Benefits

You can enable the Benefits option to add a Pocket Ledger record for Instructor Benefits that are paid when you post the Instructor Pay record to Pocket Ledger. For example, amount paid for instructor's income tax, FICA, etc.

To enable the option:

1. Check the Enable Benefits Posting to Ledger box.
2. Select the Ledger Class to be assigned to the Benefits record.
3. Enter the description to be used for the Benefits record in the Benefits Description field.
4. Select a Vendor, if desired.
5. Enter the percentage of the Total Pay in the Benefit Percentage field. The system will use this to calculate the Benefit amount.

Example
