Workaround

In version 4.3, you can do the following:

  4. Choose Checking Transactions from the Bank menu, and choose the bank account you'll use for paychecks.
  5. Click the New button.
  6. Enter Employee into the Pay To popup field.
  7. Enter an employee into the Account clairvoyant field.
  8. Enter Payroll in the Breakdown popup field. Goldenseal will fill in a list of unpaid Payroll Records.
