The primary use of the Employee Form and Table is to provide name and address information for use in the check writing and payroll records process. One of the selection criteria in extracting payroll information from the check table is the presence of the "Employee" record type which is linked to the check via the employee number.

The information in the form/table is self explanatory, except for the "Locator Name". This allows you to use abbreviations of your choice for the lookup in Accounts Payable while having the formal name to be used in addressing checks in the "Label Name" field. This way you can use something like "Pastor" for the lookup, and "The Rev. Christopher C. ChurchMouse" in the name field. Look up "Pastor" and get the entire name.

The Tax City and Tax State fields are for W-2 use.

The Tax Status is for use in the withholding calculations for 941 reporting.

The Deductions field is for your use. It is not used in the program.
