Running a Pay
+
.
 
+
The Pay Staff button is where you process your Weekly/Fortnightly/Monthly payroll, as well as being a report displaying the
+
Summary of the Payroll to date. ERP Payroll links with many other modules within ERP to ensure the full and efficient
+
processing of periodic pay runs. These areas include: Employee, Awards, Timesheet Entries, Deductions, Departments, Jobs,
+
Tax Scales, Employee Services, Payroll Preferences, Accounts, EFT and more. It is important to familiarise yourself with all
+
aspects of the above to ensure you have a complete picture of what feeds into the Payroll Pay Staff area.
+
 
+
For Payroll data to feed through ERP in the correct manner, all Employee payroll data needs to be entered against the
+
Employee card, and all Company Payroll Info and Company Payroll Preferences must be set. This way all the required rates
+
for Salary, Wages, PAYG, Superannuation, Commissions etc will flow through the system correctly.
+
 
+
NB: Please ensure your Employee cards are updated for Payroll before running a Pay Staff.
+
 
+
Do you know how to organise a Pay run?
+
 
+
Select the 'Payroll Tab'
+
Select the 'Pay Staff' Button
+
 
+
As per other lists within ERP you can: -
+
 
+
Customise the Pay Summary screen.
+
Export the Pay Summary screen.
+
Perform Searches within the Pay Summary screen.
+
Execute Filters within the Pay Summary screen.
+
Print the Pay Summary screen.
+
 
+
Please refer to Global_Features<LinkId=272> for details on the functionality of the above choices.
+
 
+
Select from the radio buttons, 'Pay'; 'Do Not Pay'; 'All Pays' to display the required list.
+
The Pay Date; Date Paid; Pay Period columns indicate the next pay to be completed.
+
 
+
The next 'Pay Date' is the end of the current pay period
+
The 'Date Paid' is literally the date that you made the last payment
+
The 'Pay Period' is the actual period for your Company pay runs as per Employee card and Preference settings
+
 
+
'Wages' displays the value of the wage to be paid for this pay period as per the figures
+
entered into the Employee card.
+
'Commission' is dependant upon whether the Employee is eligible to be paid commission as per Employee card
+
settings, i.e. per Invoice, per Product etc.  Commissions are not automatically added into the pay.  You must enter
+
them manuallly. See Commissions<LinkId=245>
+
If there are any Deductions, Allowances, Sundries for this pay period that are not a standard entry then you have
+
the option to enter them before running the pay.
+
                                       
+
The Pay Staff screen also lists the Superannuation, Gross, CDEP, Tax and Net wages due for the next pay, in accordance
+
with the default data entered against each employee.
+
The 'Pay Periods' indicates the number of pay periods being paid in One Pay, e.g. If your normal pay period is weekly
+
but you need to pay an employee 2 weeks worth of wages in the one pay run, then you would set the Pay Periods to 2.
+
To do this double-click on the employee within the Pay Staff list.
+
 
+
'Send Pay Slips via' indicates which email address a Pay Slip should be sent to if authorised.
+
 
+
The 'Pay' column allows you to select 'Yes' or 'No' whether to pay each employee, e.g. Dene's pay may need to
+
be revised further, but you do not wish to hold up the processing of all the other pays. Therefore if you select 'No'
+
against Dene's entry, all other pays can be processed. Dene's pay for this period will now be displayed in the
+
'Do Not Pay' list.
+
 
+
Manually entering the tax.

+
 
+
Refer to Banking/EFT for instructions on processing.
+
 
+
NB: When a 'Pay Staff' has been run, the payments are allocated by default to the 'Payroll Bank' account within ERP.
+
This account is a clearing account therefore the funds need to be transferred regularly between Payroll Bank and the actual
+
Bank Account where the wages are being debited from. NOTE: Under no circumstances should the Payroll Clearing account
+
be replaced in preferences with an actual Bank account as these transactions will not be reconcilable as a bank
+
account. Please refer below for instructions on creating the Journal Entry for the transfer.
+
 
+
In your Accounts List (Chart of Accounts Tree), and Balance Sheet there will be entries against the Payroll Bank account.
+
On a regular basis this must be cleared and your actual Bank Account debited, bringing your Payroll Bank balance
+
back to $0.00
+
 
+
The Chart of Accounts Tree is a drillable report. Double-click to take you to the Details by Account list if you wish
+
to view the transactions making up the Payroll Bank figure.
+
 
+
Select the Accounts tab
+
Select the Journal Entry button

Debit from the Payroll Bank the total amount that has been posted to this account and has been paid out of your
+
Bank Account.
+
Credit your Bank Account (the actual account the payroll funds have been debited from).
+
Select 'SAVE'

+
Open your Chart of Accounts in Tree mode, or your Balance Sheet.
+
 
+
NB: The balance of your Payroll Bank is now $0.00 and the balance of your Bank Account has been debited by the amount
+
you have just created a Journal Entry for from Payroll Bank.

An Update Batch may need to be run for the journal entry to be reflected in the reports.
