The Payroll module handles employee payroll, taxes, deductions, contribution and check printing.

Installation:

1. The Accountant or bookkeeper sets up the appropriate tax tables, pay types and adjustments (Master Adjustment File).
2. The bookkeeper sets up a file for all the companies employees using the Edit Employee Information option.
   

NOTE: If you are installing the system in the middle of the year you can enter the year to date payroll numbers for each employee using the PRYTD routine that comes with the source code.

Approach:

1. The bookkeeper enters time sheet data for each employee to be paid through the Enter Time Sheet option. You can save your standard payroll batches so they can be used over and over (helps to minimize data entry).(screen shot)
2. Print the Time Sheet Journal.
3. Print the Payroll Journal.
4. Print the Payroll checks. You will be prompted to select a checking account from which to print this batch of checks.
5. Print the Check Register Journal.
   

Interface with the General Ledger:
If the General Ledger is installed, it will send the batch of Payroll entries to the General Ledger. If you are running in batch mode this batch must then be printed and posted in the G/L, if you are not running in batch mode the batch will be posted directly to the G/L files.

Interface with the Job Costing Module:
If the Job Costing module is installed, you can enter a job number for each line item on a time sheet and the system will automatically create the appropriate expense entries for that job in the Job Costing module.
