The first time you open NannyPay, you will be presented with NannyPay's Set Up Wizard.  The wizard is similar to those you may have used in other Windows programs.  For each page, simply fill in the information according to the instructions and then click "Next" to move to the next page.  You may go backwards at any time by clicking "Back."  The Set Up Wizard assists you in setting up NannyPay with the information NannyPay needs to calculate withholding and to prepare pay stubs and reports.  Each page contains an explanation of the required information.  Please read each page of the wizard carefully before answering the questions.

When you're done, click "Finish."  NannyPay will prompt you to save your data file, which may be named anything you wish and may be saved in any directory on your hard drive.  We recommend that you save the file under your household employee's name and year.   For example, "MJones08".   That way, you will easily identify your salary records should you need to access them for reporting purposes.  Once you save your file, NannyPay will automatically open it each time you start up NannyPay.   Should you move or rename it , NannyPay will prompt you to find the file.  When you open NannyPay after your first set up, the Pay Check window will automatically open.

You can also change your settings at any time using the NannyPay Set Up Wizard, although they may also be changed by directly editing the Set Up Screen .
