Paying employees who start or leave mid pay cycle

I use Reckon Accounts Hosted and pay employees monthly.
If a new employee starts mid month, I would expect their monthly pay to be automatically calculated based on their start date which is noted in their employee set up info (i.e. if an employee starts 15th July, only be paid for half the month).
This does not happen, and when I go to pay employees, their entire salary is showing.
I can change the number of hours the person has worked, but it will not update the amount.
The same problem occurs for employees who leave part way during the month. I change the pay period and the number of hours worked, but it does not change the amount of salary.
What step am I missing? What do I need to do when an employee starts or leaves to ensure these dates are taken into consideration when calculating monthly pay correctly?
thank you!

It wont calculate automatically based on their start date - but you can edit the amount - salaries are a fixed amount - (it will split the annual salary by 12 and put that in the monthly pay) but then you work out the prorata value and type it in - along with the correct hrs...1

Hi Denise
For the majority of employees, hourly setup is preferable to salary. As Linda advised, this allows the ability to correctly pro-rata when required.
I would recommend changing your employee pay type setups in RAH to Hourly Payroll Item(s)
