Payroll: Pay Employee - Ability to enter a note field (to be included in Pay slips)

Hi Pirate1

Fantastic, thank you for sharing your workaround to this idea so that others may benefit.

Instead of changing the default message i.e. selecting the Email Default, you could look at changing the message on that particular email. To do this when you go to Payroll>>Print/Email Payslips>>To Be Emailed tab>>Highlight the relevant payslip and update the email message as required.

As I've just discovered the message box is limited to displaying a small box rather than other versions and windows which would have a larger one, if you are entering a longer message then perhaps look into changing the default message as indicated.

Just wondering if anything got added for this, as I find weekly pay and adding notes to the actual payslip you are working on would be such a great asset and time-saving.

I know you can add notes but they stay on permanently, and I just want a blank bar where you can add some details.

Thanks in advance

Hi TH

Currently this idea is under consideration by the team. At this stage we don't have a time frame for when this particular idea will be marked for development/implemented into the program. However we are still encourage members of the Community that would like to see this idea added to vote and comment if required.

Yes, have a 'Comments' box/field of approx 100+ characters for current payrun.

I would like to see the ability to create a note on the employee whilst in the Payroll fuction and that this note would then be visually seen by a star or something of the like next to the Payslip line it realtes to when you open the employees card.

This would help when you have rate changes, or a payroll mistake that has been corrected in the next payrun - you could visaully look over the payslip and check to ensure that pay had been corrected.

I would love that. I have to remember to type in when emailing.  I don't always remember and there is not a lot of room for text at that stage either.

I think this is a great idea! It would mean that if someone is looking at their payslip and there is something unusual about it, we can advise them right there on the slip. Love it.

Hi Everyone

With the release of AccountRight 2020.3, users can now use the Memo field of the Pay Employee window to record a note. This note will be shown on the [Memo] of the pay slip form (when added).
