Adding Contractors

With advanced payroll, before you can pay a contractor, you need to enter the contractor in your company file.

To add a contractor:

1. Choose Payroll > Manage Contractors.
2. In the Contractors List dialog box, click the Add button.
3. In the Contractor Detail dialog box, on the Demographics tab, provide the contractor's name. (The Contractor Name is required.)
4. Provide the contractor's address and any contact information.
5. Click the Employment tab.
   By default, Brass Jacks Bookkeeper shows new contractors as Active.
6. Type the contractor's Tax ID Nbr and specify the Payroll Cycle.
   The Tax ID Nbr may be the contractor's social security number or EIN.
7. Depending on your company's procedures, provide the employment information for the new contractor.
   You can adjust the name that appears on the contractor's check if it differs from the name on the Demographics tab.
8. Click the Wage tab.
9. Select the check box(es) that are relevant for paying this contractor and fill in the Rate for each applicable wage type.
   These selections determine what appears on the contractor's 1099-Misc form.
10. If you've set up custom fields, click the Custom Fields tab and supply any information needed in the custom fields.
11. To save the new contractor's information, click OK.
12. Verify that the new contractor's name appears in the Contractors List dialog box.
13. Click Close.
