Trying to setup Payroll settings since I just hired my first employee. Can't complete without a VEC but can't register a VEC until they have been employed for 20 weeks

Hello there, @td16.

I've got an insight to share on how you can finish your payroll set up for the new employee.

To finish your payroll set up, you can select the Applied For option on the employee's information. This way, you can finish the set up and be able to run payroll.

Once the VEC data is ready, you can edit the details and enter them in the VEC box. If this option isn't available, you can enter dummy info in the said section.
