• Flexible pay factor setup gives you control

  Flexible setup options for employee pay factors such as salary, hourly wages, cash benefits, deductions, vacation and sick accruals and payouts, noncash benefits, cafeteria plans, and taxes give you complete control over customizing Payroll according to your company's practices.

• Unlimited pay factors

  Create an unlimited number of income types, deductions, accruals, noncash benefits, and user-defined taxes.

• Unlimited employee pay factor assignment

  Assign employees any type and any number of incomes, deductions, noncash benefits, accruals, and taxes. Employees aren't locked in to particular classifications that you can't control or change.

• Payroll expense tracking (without departmentalization)

  Assign different general ledger accounts for every Payroll expense, if you wish, for close tracking of your costs of doing business.

• Automatic or after-the-fact processing

  Process Payroll automatically and print paychecks from 21st Century Payroll or enter check information from another source.

• Manual earnings distribution

  Distribute employee earnings to up to 10 general ledger accounts of your choice every pay period by percent of hours worked, by number of hours worked, or by amount of gross earnings. If the company is configured to "departmentalize" pay factors, and an employee's factors are configured to post to the employee's departments, the system distributes nonearnings factors to departments in the same proportions as you distribute earnings.

• Void checks

  A Payroll check or remittance check got lost in the mail? You can void a posted check with a few keystrokes. When you void a Paycheck, the Payroll system debits the bank account for the check total and credits or debits the G/L accounts to which the income, vacation and sick payouts, deductions, and taxes were credited or debited. The system also adjusts the employee's to-date totals for all details associated with the check, including hours worked, accruals, taxable earnings, and so forth. Adjusting the employee's to-date totals ensures that future paychecks will be calculated correctly and that reports such as W-2s, 940s, and 941s will be correct.

• Create Custom Pay Summary reports

  Design your own Payroll summary reports. You can print the custom reports or export the data for further review or manipulation in a spreadsheet. The report columns show information from existing pay periods. You determine the number, order, and content of the columns. You can design as many different reports as you like in any Payroll company.

• Optionally track Payroll expenses and liabilities by department

  Take advantage of the option to departmentalize Payroll if you want true cost center posting. The system automatically posts each employee's Payroll expenses only or both expenses and liabilities to the employee's department or cost center.
