Payroll Module
The Payroll module gives you a powerful tool for tracking employee service efforts, easily producing timely, and accurate pay and generating distributed accounting entries.

Flexible Payroll Production

- Comprehensive employee records—Maintain detailed profiles for your employees including pay information, demographics, emergency contacts, review dates, and performance notes. Group employees by pay cycle or department to facilitate payroll production, distribution, and reporting.
- Save time with timesheet templates—Store a timesheet template detailing payroll codes for each employee. Process payroll directly from template information or use it as a starting point for current timesheet entry.
- Flexible payroll codes—Create an unlimited number of customized payroll codes for earnings, benefits, deductions, worker's compensation, leave, and more. Design payroll codes to meet the needs of your organization from leave accrual policies to compensation plans.
- Automatically allocate labor costs—The Payroll module allows you to easily record the hours worked in each program and department during
timesheet entry so that your costs are accurately distributed in the general ledger. Choose to distribute earnings by percentages, dollar amounts, or units. Fringe benefits and taxes can be allocated using the same criteria or their own separately defined criteria.

Powerful Reporting Options

- Federal, state and local tax reporting—Through tax worksheets, summary tax reports, and detailed tax accumulation histories, the Payroll module facilitates tax tracking and reporting in your organization.
- Generate W-2s—Produce paper and magnetic media W-2 filings directly from the system. W-2s may be generated anytime after the end of the calendar year.
