Hello LT11,
Welcome to the Community page. I am here to give you information that could answer your concern.
When creating a payroll our system doesn't allow you to change the employee salary. It does let you modify the hours worked. Therefore before running payroll, you need to calculate the hours worked.
The calculation of hours worked (as seen above) is straightforward for a salaried employee on a weekly or biweekly pay schedule.
Additionally, here's how to override an employee's hours:

- Select Workers, then select Employees.
- Select Run Payroll.
- Select the pay schedule of the employee. Then select Continue.
