The Manual Update Utility
Previous Topic  Next Topic 


The NannyPay Manual Update Utility provides you with the opportunity to manually enter withholding calculations so that they are reflected in the year-to-date and quarterly records generated by NannyPay.  This is particularly useful if you have been paying your household employee before you began using NannyPay software and you wish to update your computerized records with your previous manual records.  See Updating NannyPay Files.


To use NannyPay's Manual Update Utility, just select the cell in which you wish to enter the calculation and start typing, click F2, or press the space bar.  Either of these actions will put the program into editing mode.  Deductions will automatically appear as negative amounts; payments as positive amounts.  "Other" adjustments can be entered as negative or positive amounts, as appropriate.  You can move to the next cell by using the arrow keys.  Once you have finished, click "Update" and your calculations will be reflected in NannyPay's current, year-to-date, and quarterly registers.  Manually entered payments are identifiable by their blue color in the current register.  You must also enter a date or NannyPay will not permit you to enter your manual calculations.  Here is an illustration of the Manual Update Utility:
