Running A Payroll

We'll run through an example payroll in this section. We'll use the same payroll that was used to create the tutors so be sure to also WATCH THE TUTORS for each section on the payroll screen. Each section has it's own tutor and will show you a payroll being created as it's described here and in the tutor.

 

There are 2 basic methods for running payroll in Truckers Helper. The easiest way is to set the Auto Pay When Delivered option in Payroll Setup. This tells the program to automatically pay any loads that have been delivered and are not already paid. For this option you click IMPORT and all loads, advances and other automatic deductions are imported in one step. The second method is to use the Let Me Select Pro Number option. With this option you click ADD in the Mileage Pay section and you will get a list of unpaid delivered trips. You then select the Pro Numbers you want to pay. After the mileage pay is added you then click IMPORT to bring in any automatic deductions, advances, etc. This two step method is a little more effort but gives you the option of not paying all loads as soon as they are delivered.

 

For our example we'll use the first method & the entire process will be shown under the Importing Payroll topic below. Printing Settlements and Checks will be covered in that topic and the Negative Payroll will be covered in the third topic.
