OVERVIEW

 

The payroll system enables you to setup company and department parameters, earnings, deductions and payroll codes; create and maintain employee records; process payroll; print paycheques, payroll statements and T4's; and print listings and reports of all activities related to payroll.

 

Payrolls are processed by batch, with a number of options to select which employees will be paid or not in any given batch. Payroll tax deductions are calculated automatically based on the current tax table in use. You have the ability to edit payroll amounts prior to updating the batch. Recurring payroll deductions can be automated to occur as required. Test payroll batches can be run as desired to check the affects of changes to deductions and benefits, and employee and/or employee groups maintenance.

 

Maintenance programs permit great flexibility in setup. For example, employees may be grouped in a number of different ways to control which employees will be paid in a given payroll run, which deductions will occur, and, if needed, different G/L expense accounts affected.
