The Edit Employee option allows you to edit a selected employee's setup information on-the-fly during payroll check entry. The Employee Information dialog contains a series of tabs similar to those in the Employees window, but you can only modify information for the employee whose check you are currently entering. You cannot add employees or delete the selected employee from this dialog. The Edit menu and the right-click context menu in this dialog contain some employee-specific setup options. Changes made in this dialog will flow to the Employees window and will also be reflected immediately in the payroll check you are currently entering.

When the Payroll Check Entry dialog is active, open the Employee Information dialog by choosing Edit > Edit Employee or by choosing Edit Employee from the right-click context menu.
