This tutorial shows how to update the Company Name inside Payroll Mate® software.
Payroll Mate comes with a Sample Company already created inside the software. If you edited the sample company file that comes with Payroll Mate instead of creating your own company file, the database for your company will still show the name of Sample Company. To fix this you will need to change the database file name to be the company name you want.
