#### Step 2: Enter Payroll Details
- Click View Payroll Batches then select the Edit batch icon to open the payroll batch to view all employees included in the payroll.
- Enter hours for hourly employees (regular, overtime, double time, sick, vacation, etc.).
- Add any applicable bonuses as a dollar amount.
- Use Tab or arrow keys to move between fields.
- Click 'Save and Update Payroll' when done.
#### Step 3: Add Additional Earning Codes (Optional)
