Making several stubs: how the dates step back

Set Number of paystubs needed on the Payment step. You can make up to 52 stubs in one order, one per pay period.

The pay period and pay date on the Earnings step belong to the latest stub. Every earlier stub is made by stepping back one pay period at a time. The number of days between the end of the period and the pay date stays the same on every stub.

Each stub's YTD includes all the stubs before it, so the totals line up from one stub to the next. If you enter previous YTD, those amounts are what was paid before the earliest stub.

Stubs never cross into the previous year's YTD. A stub paid in January starts a new year, so its YTD is just that paycheck (or the January paychecks so far).
