Adding a new company/Processing more than one payroll

You can use Payroll Pro to process payrolls for more than one company on the same computer.

To do this, select FILE then CREATE NEW COMPANY, then fill out the on screen information.

Payroll Pro will allow you to process 3 payruns before paying for and entering a company registration code, which will unlock the 3 pay run limit. However, we do suggest purchasing your company registration code as soon as possible before your 3 payruns have been processed to avoid delays.

 

Detailed Instructions

1. From the main menu in Payroll Pro, select FILE, then from the drop down menu, select CREATE NEW COMPANY
   
2. The following will now appear.
   2a. Select "OPTION 2: Create a new company and apply for a corresponding Registration Code".
   2b. Enter the new company name.
   2c. Then enter the name of the folder for this to go into. The folder will default to the first 8 characters of the name so that is fine to use.
   2d. Enter address details etc.
   2e. Then click "Create Data".
   
3. You will now see similar to the following.
   Click "Print" for a copy of the information for yourself – otherwise click "Don't Print" if you don't want a copy for yourself
   (but we do recommend printing a copy).

The cost for the registration code will be shown on the screen and forms (latest prices can be found here).
