Employee Review Click this option to review payroll wages, withholding deductions, expense checks, and other payroll data for the current employee. The current year and current quarter displayed on this form are based on the current W-2 year and W-2 quarter settings established in the Change W-2 Quarter/Year utility (an advanced utility). You can only review the details of your own payroll data, unless you belong to a role with the appropriate security rights to view pay-related information for other users.

If you multiple companies, the employee may be associated with more than one company. The name of the employee's company displays next to the employee name in the header of the Employees form.

Detail View/List View

This toolbar option indicates how information is currently displayed on the Employees form:

  • List View: Click this option to display the information in a grid format on the form. The fields for each record display in columns in a grid rather than on separate tabs. In the grid, you can display one or more records at a time. To add, remove, or change the sequence of the columns in the grid, click the Select Fields option on the grid toolbar.
  • Detail View: Click this option to display the information on tabs. This is the default view that displays when you open this hub. This is the view that is described in help topics.

If you use multiple companies, the Employees form only displays the employee's home company record in List View (and only if you have the appropriate Security access rights to that record). This may cause the number of employee records that display in the List View to be fewer than the number of records in the Detail View.
