I created a "Commission" Payroll Item Type. Since the commission amount can vary and it is not based on a percentage, I left that field blank on the setup screen.
However, when I entered Commission as a pay item on the employees payroll, the amount did not add to the employee's pay at all ... it was as if that line didn't even exist. Fortunately, there was a previous Item Type for Bonuss, and I used that to pay the commission amount, but I would like to know why the Commission item type didn't add to the employee's pay during payroll processing. What am I missing? As always, thanks in advance for your time in helping.
