About the Earnings Wizard
Use the Earnings Wizard to quickly enter a large quantity of other earnings for different employees. For example, if you wanted to enter all the gratuities due to your banquet servers, it would be very tedious and time consuming to do it one employee at a time. However, you are able to enter earnings for individual employees in this screen. The Earnings Wizard allows you the flexibility to enter all the gratuities by selecting the date you want to enter, and applying different filters as necessary to display the appropriate employee list. You can also create earnings based on Holiday Eligibility.
