Payroll Liabilities

Thank you for reaching out to the Community about your payroll concern, lglass858.

I recognize how important it is for your company to have accurate payroll data, especially during this year-end season. I'm here to assist you in navigating through the process of clearing the alert in your Payroll Liabilities tab.

The orange exclamation point indicates that some alerts or notifications require your attention. Let's head over to the Payroll Item List and open up the payroll item in question to ensure it's set up correctly. Follow these simple steps:

1. In your company file, head to the Lists menu at the top bar and choose Payroll Item List.
2. This will open a page that shows the list of all payroll items.
3. From there, look for the liability item or pay type and right-click beside it to select Edit Payroll Item. 
4. In the Edit payroll item window review the information and make sure all fields are complete.
5. Click Next until you reach the Finish option.
