Setting up Payroll Wages Salaries for Employees

I've just installed GnuCash v2 and I'm trying to set up employees with
regular salaries to be paid on regularly scheduled dates.  The business tab
allows me to set up an employee with an hourly wage but not a monthly or
semi-monthly salary.  When I go into scheduled transactions I don't see a
way to choose the employee's name for payment.  I would also expect a field
to credit the employees account, but I just see the general payroll expense
account not correlated to any particular employee.  Do I have to use the
scheduling tool to set up payroll?  If so, how should I name the scheduled
payment?  Shouldn't I have a payroll form that allows me to see the salary
owed, reimburse employee for travel, deduct taxes, payback advances, etc. in
a single check or cash payment?
