HELP - Payroll Other Pays


This screen is used to enter "less common" entries.
Regular Pay, Overtime, Tips and Meals may be entered from here as well, but in most cases they will be entered from the main (previous) Payroll screen.

Rates 3-8
Rates 3-8 is a default description. This description may be changed in the "Employee Set Up" by your CPA, to fit a particular Employeer situation, i.e., it can be called "Bonus Pay," or "Commissions," or any other description.

Other Pay
Enter here any other pay in a "user defined" description. This field is mainly used for occasional items such as Christmas bonus, retroactive pay, overtime on rate-3 or 4, rtc.

Sick Pay
Sick Pay is subject to taxes according to the Federal Tax Guide (Circular E).

Vacation Pay
Vacation Pay is subject to all taxes.
NOTE: When an employees work during their vacations, they are due double pay. It is recommended that they split that into two paychecs instead of one. A separate vacation check will result in an overall higher Net Pay to the Employee and a more equitable tax witholding. You may want to suggest that to your client.

Holiday Pay
This is normaly used to enter pay for which the Employee did not work, but is receiving pay.

Non Cash - Fringe
An example of this pay would be items such as "Value of Tangible Property given to the Employee" or "Taxable Free Room & Board" or "Free use of a vehicle", as well as many other situations.

Double time
Double time is calculated at two times the regular pay rate.
NOTE: If you enter the same Pay type more than once, the latest pay rate will override the previous pay rate entered. As a result, all units under that pay rate will be calculated using the latest rate entered.
For example, if you enter 5 hours overtime at $10 per hour and then enter another 5 hours overtime at $15 per hour, the system will compute 15 hours overtime at the latest rate of $15 per hour. The reason for this is because there is one field only for units and one field only per pay rate per Employee in the database

DATA INPUT
When you enter a wrong numeric, the system will warn you. Any character other than number or "." or "-" or "+" will be considered as wrong. The system will not automaticaly correct the input to the previous value. If you leave the wrong input, when the data will be saved in the database, there will be ZEROED value stored in an apropriate field!
When you enter "Unit/Hours", this value will be automaticaly multiplied by "Rate" and the field named "Gross" will be updated. The same automatic calculation will be applied when you enter "Rate", this value will be automaticaly multiplied by "Units/Hours" and the field named "Gross" will be updated

When you're done with Other Pay data input, click on "SAVE DATA-back to Payroll" button to return to the main Payroll screen. If you fail to do this, the data you entered will NOT be saved into the database!
If you want to discard the data entered on this screen, click the buton labeled "CANCEL - back to Payroll" and the data will NOT be saved to the database when returning to the main Payroll screen.
