When you follow the process you describe for a Salaried member of staff, Quick Books includes a full month's salary in their final pay - even if hey only worked one week.

A similar problem occurs with new starters, who receive a normal months pay in the first pay period - even when they joined in the middle of the month.

The pay calculated by quick books ignores the length of the pay period set on the 'pay employees screen'

I have not encountered this problem with previous versions of the software - and think it must be an 'improvement' for this year's version.!
