Enter all benefits, adjustments, and ministerial allowances that your employees have.

1. In the top-left corner, click your ministry hub then Accounting. Then click Payroll > Adjustments.
2. Click Add Adjustment.
3. Enter information about the new adjustment, like health insurance or retirement, and enter the amount or percentage of the adjustment that affects the employee's paycheck.
4. Select all taxes that apply to this adjustment. For more on tax information, see Tax Details in our related topics.
5. Select the W-2 box this adjustment belongs to, and click Save when you're finished.
   Tip: The following are a few examples of adjustments to get you thinking about what you might need to include:

   • Additions— If your pastor has a housing allowance as part of their salary package, this is set up as an addition. Other additions include auto allowances for pastors and mobile phone allowances. Additions require you to use an expense account.
   • Deductions— Most commonly, insurance costs count as deductions from an employee's paycheck. Deductions require you to use a credit account that includes liabilities, expenses, and receivables.
   • Employer Contributions— If your church has set up a way to compensate a percentage of an employee's deduction, like a 401k match, this counts as an employer contribution. Anything an employer contributes that doesn't affect the employee's paycheck counts as an employer contribution. Employer contributions require you to use both an expense and a credit account.
