This is the pay period maintenance function. It is the calendar that maps the payroll system. Through this function you define your pay dates and pay period ending dates. You also define which month, quarter and year you are operating in. The accrue switches allow you to choose which pay periods to accrue vacation and sick pay on. You can specify when to run an alternative pay frequency. The G/L year and period are determined by pay period. The interface to the G/L is also determined by pay period.

Payroll Parameter Maintenance is necessary when you are first setting up your system. After you are up and running it should not be touched, it contains many crucial switches that help the payroll system identify where it is. Manually changing these switches without guidance can result in an irretrievably damaged pay run.

Workers Compensation is fairly straight forward and needs only a compensation code and the rate associated with that code. We have another function not shown here which allows you to store a province maximum if one is necessary. The compensation code is linked to the employee through employee maintenance.

This is rate code maintenance. It is useful when you have a number of employees being paid at the same rate. If that rate needs to be changed, instead of having to manually change each employee, one change here will be effective for each employee associated with this rate code.

EBD Maintenance, EBD’s are the categories that structure the payroll system. Checks are made up of an accumulation of EBD details. The G/L codes are coded to the EBD which offers the ability to track detail. EBD’s can be restricted by company. The type defines which kind of EBD we are looking at (this example is an earning EBD).

The accrue switches allow you to define whether or not vacation or sick pay should be accrued on this earning. The workers comp switch determine whether workers compensation should be calculated on this earning. The tax switches allow you to define which taxes are to be deducted from this EBD.

Noticed on this last screen of EBD maintenance that we have changed the type from ‘E’ (earnings) to ‘D’ (deductions) in order to illustrate an EBD formula. In this example 6% of all earnings and taxable benefits will be stored in EBD 401 for an RRSP contribution.

Here is an example of a deduction with a more complicated formula. This formula first determines the employees annual salary. If the employees salary is greater than $50,000 then this formula will calculate the minimum of 3.25% of his earnings or the contents of the DENT-MAX variable. The minimum of the two becomes the value of the deduction. If the employees salary is less than $50,000 then the same comparison is made except that 2.25% of earnings is compared to DENT-MAX.

You may use your arrow keys in order to scroll through the choices you see below. You may also notice that there are some Human Resource functions listed below (starting at absence entry). When the human resource module is purchased with the payroll module, these functions become available through employee maintenance.

This is the salary information screen of employee maintenance. It stores the salary and rate of each employee. The salary-hour switch defines the way in which to pay an employee. The hours field is used to default the standard hours during time posting. The vacation code field ties into the vacation table defined for this employee. The sick pay code field ties into the sick pay table defined for this employee. The compensation code ties into the workers compensation file and determines the rate in which to calculate for this employee. The direct deposit switch is used to identify employees enrolled in a direct deposit program.

This is the tax exemption screen of employee maintenance. The federal credit is the employee’s personal tax credit return (TD1). The federal exemption field is used for tax reductions authorized by Revenue Canada. The provincial exemption is used only in Quebec for the employee’s personal tax credit (MV-19-V). In some cases employees may be exempt in which case the system will not calculate the specified tax for that employee.

The %/$ method field allows you to put either a specific amount or a percentage of the gross into any number of accounts. The priority allows you to name which account to use first. EX: priority 1 $100 to account 123

priority 2 $ 100 to account 456

priority 3 100 % of whatever remains to account 789

This is employee fixed maintenance which also has a menu entry of its own on the maintenance menu. It has a choose bar which allows you to easily create new fixed EBD’s. Fixed maintenance is used to determine all the deductions and employer shares that must be calculated for this employee. Only benefits, RRSP Plans, overriding G/L codes and overriding formulas need be set up here. The system will automatically calculate the Federal, Provincial, UIC and CPP/QPP taxes and need not be set up here.

This is an example of an employee fixed maintenance record. In this example $100 is being deducted every pay period. The active switch allows you to set up fixed records before they are instituted. The balance amount is used for EBD’s that have a limit (like RRSP’s). Carry forward allows you to carry deductions forward if there is no check. Every check allows you to set up the frequency of the EBD i.e.. if there is more than one check should it be deducted on every check.

Transaction ProcessingTransaction Processing Payroll initialization gets run either first or last to clear the previous pay period. Next to run is Automatic Transaction Creation which creates all salaried employees

and some fixed deductions. Then proceed with the post time functions. Run Batch Cheque Creation to create all cheques if there is a problem then run Back

Date cheques for Re-run to undo the cheques, make your adjustments to the appropriate transactions and then run Batch Cheque Creation Again.

If everything is in order then print your cheques and the cheque cross reference. If Direct Deposit is required then run the Bank Deposit List and Bank Transmittal

functions. Run Labour Distribution by EBD and by G/L Code followed by C/P to G/L Interface.

The next few screens illustrate these functions.
