Most labor contractors use the Daily Payroll Entry window, which
allows payroll data to be entered in any order from your crew sheets. Here
are some of the key features of the Daily Payroll Entry window:
-
The crew number can be recorded on each entry, making it
possible to track employees that work on multiple crews in the same week.
-
On a network, you have have multiple users entering payroll
data at the same time. Each users entries are kept separate by the
user name and crew number that they are entered under. Reports can be
printed individually for each user.
-
Default entries can be made which reduce the amount of data
entry that needs to be done. Information will repeat from line to line
so you don't have to retype it. Default entries can be saved and each
user may have his or her own default settings.
-
Five different reports are available, each with several
options, to assist you in checking over your entries.
-
During payroll entry, warnings are provided if the employee
is not currently active, has an expired alien registration number, or
doesn't make minimum wage.
-
Additional minimum wage checking is done on reports and when
checks are created.
-
After verifying that your entries are correct, you are ready
to create checks for printing. The program can create checks for
specific crews, or for entries made by a particular user.
-
You can begin entering information for the next pay period
even before you've finished processing the current week's payroll.
When creating checks, the program will only process entries that fall in
your pay period dates, leaving next week's entries in the file.
-
The entries in the daily payroll window may be displayed in
entry order, account number order, date order, or crop order.
-
Use Crew Sheet Numbers to group entries
together for each crew sheet you enter. Reports can then be printed by
Crew Sheet #.
-
Deduction amounts can be entered on a
daily basis (for instance, advances given out daily).
-
Print weekly or daily crew sheets from
The Labor Contractor's Office then use the
Crew Sheet Wizard to
quickly enter the data.
