2. Enter the union code, description, and address information. The Benefits, Hours, and Deductions buttons become enabled.

3. Choose Save. 

   Deduction and benefit codes must be set up in the Microsoft Dynamics GP Payroll module.

4. To print the Union Code List report, choose File > Print or choose the printer button. The report includes a union employee's earned wages, benefit, and deduction amounts for a specified period of time. 

   You must pay employees weekly and use the Microsoft Dynamics GP Payroll module to print Job Cost Union reports. Also, the date used for building checks must be the same as the beginning and ending dates on your payroll transactions.
