U.S. Payroll

Table driven. Core facilities support locally defined earnings and deduction characteristics and tax tables. Federal Tax tables are easily specified by simply entering the current annual rates and limits from IRS Circular E. State and Local tax table maintenance is done similarly using annual rates and limits. This means you have direct control over your Payroll function since you are never dependent upon your computer format tax tables being provided by someone else.

Basic specifications...

• Unlimited Employees
• Five Pay Cycles
• 20 Earnings Categories plus 6 Hourly Rates
• 20 Deduction Categories
• Import time entries

Integration with General Ledger. Payroll processing generates transactions within Payroll. Journal Entries for these transactions subsequently flow into the General Ledger.

Integration with Job Costing. Payroll time entries specify the particular Job and Cost center as components of the Expense Account. After Payroll processing has occurred the Hours and Account information is preserved in Payroll and Journal Entries for these transactions subsequently flow into General Ledger. This information is reflected in Job Cost summaries.

Easy time transaction entry and importing. Labor time entries can be entered or imported as often as you wish prior to Payroll processing. While entering these time entry transactions you can review them and make any corrections required. Lookup help for Employees and Accounts is always available.

Complete Payroll history. Full details of processed Payroll transactions are maintained and are available for subsequent analysis and reporting.

Easy adapting. All Payroll data is maintained in standard database tables. These tables are readily extensible.

Integrity. Only valid Employees and Accounts are accepted for time entries. Employee records for terminated employees are preserved until applicable end-of-year reporting has occurred. A built-in facility enables Payroll checks to be reprinted in the event of a printing failure.

Flexible Employee numbering. The standard Employee number is 12 characters so it can conveniently represent a hyphenated Social Security number. For other situations it can contain any mixture of numbers and letters.

Easy report changes. All reports are based on a visual report designer so they can be readily changed.

Flexible Check forms. These forms are also based on a visual report designer so they can be readily adapted to your existing Checks forms and preferences.

Check reconciliation. Enables you to identify checks that have cleared and checks that have not cleared and verify Bank statements.

Special government reports. Various government agencies impose special reporting requirements involving employee characteristics, composition and payroll data. The flexible design of AdaptAccounts Payroll and its use of database tables enables these requirements to be readily handled. For example, you can easily add additional fields to the Employee table. Since all transaction details are preserved, you can use other database query and reporting tools to combine them with Employee data to produce any other special reports you need.
