Cash Payroll

I pay my employees in cash instead of by check. How do I handle that?

In Goldenseal payroll software, it's not much different whether you pay by cash or by check. Here are the specifics for cash payroll!

Writing Payroll

If you pay by cash, follow these steps to write payroll:

  1. Choose Write Payroll from the Bank menu.
  2. Check labor hours and deductions, then click the Write Payroll button to create paychecks.
  3. Enter a cash account to use for the payments, then click OK.
  4. Goldenseal will create Cash Transactions for the payroll items.
  5. Take that amount of cash, and put it in an envelope to give to each employee.

Printing Pay Stubs

If you pay by cash, follow these steps to print pay stubs to include in each pay envelope:

  1. Open the Cash Transactions that you created in the previous steps.
  2. Choose Print Forms from the File menu.
  3. You should see Pay Stub in the Form Type field (see note below).
  4. Enter Unprinted Records in the Record Range field (or some other range if you want a different selection of checks).
  5. Click the Print button.
  6. You'll see a standard print dialog for your printer. Click Print.
  7. Goldenseal will print a one-page payroll breakdown that you can include in your pay envelope.

NOTE-- If you have an older version of Goldenseal, you may not see the Pay Stub form in the Print Forms command. In that case you can download that form and add it to your company file.
