When you create a payroll transactions it takes the Details from the Employee details screen. If you later change these details, that change wont flow through to previously created payroll transactions.

In summary the Employee details screen (Setup > Payroll > Employees) is default information for creating NEW payroll transactions while the Payroll transaction screen has specific information for that specific payroll transaction.

So if you want NEW payroll transactions created to show changes you need to update the Employee Details screen.

FAQ

How do I change a pay transaction which has incorrect bank account or employment details?

You need to go to the actual payroll transaction and use these two links listed below that you can find just above the list of Pay Items:

• Employee Bank Details for this transaction
• Employment Details for this transaction

Why do you treat them differently?

If we allowed users to change default settings and flow through to all payroll transactions for those employees then you would lose historical bank account information.
