Court Fine

Here is an example of setting up a fine. The Code and Name can be anything you like.
Code: FINE
Name: Court Fine
Default Type: Flat Amount $0 (make this zero and enter the amount under Enter Current Pay)
Reset to Zero After Employee Paid: Leave these un-ticked so that the amount stays in the employees record from week to week, or tick these if only to be used for a single pay.
