You are correct, MattA1

You'll need to manually enter the payroll details after creating your payroll account. I'd be glad to share these steps with you:

1. Go to the Payroll menu and proceed to the Employees menu.
2. Select the name of the employee, then click the Pencil icon beside Pay.
3. Click the Pencil icon beside Step 3, 4, and 5 to enter the hourly rate, deductions, and other payroll details.
4. Select Done.
