- 1d - USING THE DEMO ACCOUNTS
-
- Included at no extra cost with the "Payroll" module, is a set of
- sample/demo accounts for practice use. On your disk are some files
- with the name of "WORK". In order to use these demo files, simply
- copy all of the "WORK.*" files onto a blank disk to be used as your
- demo disk. When starting up FINANCE MANAGER, use this disk as your
- data disk and put it in the appropriate disk drive (usually B:). When
- FINANCE MANAGER asks you for the File name, enter "WORK". The use of
- these demo files will very likely get you going faster and help you to
- use this module to your best advantage.
-
- It is important to remember that you do not use these demo files when
- you are setting up your own live data, since demo files obviously
- contain existing practice-only data and demo employees. Setting up a
- new "live" set of books, however, is very simple and is thoroughly
- described in the following section.
-
- 1e - RUNNING THE PAYROLL MODULE
-
- To run the "Payroll" module, you must first install it by following
- the instructions under "Installing FINANCE MANAGER" in the "Getting
- Started" Manual. After it is installed, follow the simple steps in
- the order given below:
-
- 1. Start up FINANCE MANAGER per the instructions in the "Getting
- Started" manual. Upon starting FINANCE MANAGER, you must decide
- to use either live data or the practice-only demo accounts data
- on the Payroll Documentation & Demo disk. If you prefer to
- practice and experiment, you should remember to use the Demo
- disk. If you wish to set up your own live Payroll, you should
- put your FINANCE MANAGER General Ledger data disk in your drive
- B: (not necessary if you have a hard disk).
-
- 2. At the disk drive prompt, enter the disk drive letter where you
- put your Demo or G/L data disk, usually drive B: (or C: if you
- have a hard disk).
-
- 3. At the Enter Filename prompt, enter the name of the data file you
- want to use ("WORK" if you have the demo disk in drive B:, or if
- you are using your live G/L data files enter the filename you are
- using for your live data).
-
- Remember, you can only use this module if you have previously set
- up your General Ledger data files using the General Ledger
- module. When using the demo data files, this has already been
- done for you.
-
- 4. You will now be at the FINANCE MANAGER Master Menu.
-
- 5. OPTIONAL: If you have not already done so (when you set up your
- G/L data files), you may go to the System Utilities
- Menu and change any system defaults. This may,
- however, be done at any time and is not necessary to
- run FINANCE MANAGER. We do, however, suggest you set
- up the "Compressed" and "Normal" print codes before
- printing the Payroll reports, since you will find it is
- required for a few of them.
-
-
-
-
- Page 6
- FINANCE MANAGER II - Payroll
-
-
-
- 6. Next you must add several accounts to your General Ledger Chart
- of Accounts. See section 7a for details. These G/L accounts are
- required to use the Payroll module. See your General Ledger
- documentation manual on setting up your Chart of Accounts. If
- you have these accounts already set up in your General Ledger
- Chart of Accounts, this step is not necessary.
-
- 7. From the FINANCE MANAGER master menu: If you have floppy disks,
- put your Payroll program disk into drive A: (if you have not
- already done so). Then select menu "F5", and this will take you
- into Payroll. If this is the first time you are using Payroll
- for this set of books, the system will ask you: "Create new file
- (Y/N):_", which you should answer with a "Y". This procedure
- will create all the necessary Payroll data files. Don't worry it
- will not damage your General Ledger data files.
-
- 8. From the Payroll main menu select "F6", and then "F4", in order
- to set up your Payroll configuration settings. This step is
- important since it will set up the interface with your General
- Ledger Chart of Accounts. See section 7a for details.
-
- 9. Return to the Payroll Utilities menu and select "F5", to set up
- your tax tables. These tax tables will calculate federal, state
- and city taxes as well as Earned Income Credit. See section 7d
- for details.
-
- 10. Return to the Payroll main menu and select "F4" to set up your
- employees. See section 3 on employee accounts.
-
- 11. After setting up your employees, you may print an employee
- listing report. See section 5 on reports.
-
- 12. Return to the Payroll main menu and select "F1" to input
- transactions. See section 4 on transactions.
-
- 13. After you have entered some transactions, you may print a Payroll
- Register report (select "F2" from the Payroll Reports menu) to
- see what you have entered. See section 5 on reports.
-
- 14. Print any other reports as required. The most useful reports are
- "PAYROLL REGISTER" and the "PAID PAYROLL RECAP".
-
- These basic steps are merely intended to show you the order of events
- in setting up new Payroll books.

- SECTION TWO - THE PAYROLL MAIN MENU
-
- The Payroll Main Menu is the starting point for all of the various
- Payroll functions. It is a sort of "Table of Contents" for the
- Payroll module. It can guide you to all of the other useful sub-menus
- and practical features of the time and money-saving Payroll module.
-
- The Payroll Main Menu appears as follows:
-
- ----------- PAYROLL MAIN MENU ----------
- | |
- | ESC Return to Master Menu |
- | F1 Input TRANSACTIONS |
- | F2 CHANGE/Delete Transactions |
- | F3 REPORTS Menu |
- | F4 Update EMPLOYEE ACCOUNTS |
- | F5 Payroll Checks Menu |
- | F6 Payroll Utility Menu |
- | |
- | |
- | |
- | |
- | ENTER YOUR SELECTION: |
- | Payroll configuration not set up |
- ----------------------------------------
-
-
- Note that many of the selections are used to go on to other menus.
- All of the menu selections are discussed in later sections in this
- documentation. If you get a message, as above, saying "Payroll
- configuration not set up" or "Tax Tables not set up" you should set up
- these configurations by selecting "F6", "PAYROLL UTILITIES MENU" to
- set these items up. For clarification, these procedures are discussed
- in Section Seven.
-
-
- As mentioned above, it is essential that you set up your
- configuration. Jump to Section 7a to complete that easy-to-follow
- procedure before continuing.
-
- The next step is to set up your employee accounts. This procedure
- follows in Section Three.

-
- SECTION THREE - EMPLOYEE ACCOUNTS
-
- Your Employee Accounts are the foundation of your Payroll. To set up,
- or to change your employees, select "F4 Update EMPLOYEE ACCOUNTS" from
- the Payroll main menu.
-
- 3a - WHAT ARE EMPLOYEE ACCOUNTS
-
- Your employee accounts are used to keep track of all of your
- employees, their address, overtime, holiday, sick leave, the amount of
- time they worked, Pay frequency, deductions and liabilities. It is
- important to remember that any person that is drawing a paycheck from
- you, should be set up as an employee.
-
- Whenever you hire a new employee, you must set up this new person in
- the employee accounts. WHEN YOU ENTER A NEW EMPLOYEE INTO FINANCE
- MANAGER HAVE THE EMPLOYEES COMPLETED W-4 FORM NEXT TO YOU, AS MOST OF
- THE INFORMATION YOU WILL ENTER WILL COME DIRECTLY FROM THE EMPLOYEE'S
- W-4 FORM. Each employee must be given a unique employee account
- number, which can be any alphanumeric input up to four characters
- long. This account number will then be used whenever you are entering
- transactions for that employee.
-
-
- 3b - EMPLOYEE ACCOUNTS ORGANIZATION
-
- Your employee account numbers, and their order within the program, are
- totally up to you.
-
- An important consideration for your employee account numbers is to
- group your employees into account number ranges or in alphabetic
- order. For example, give all of your employees who work in shipping,
- account numbers 9000-9999. This may be useful when printing reports.
- Remember to always leave enough room for new accounts to be added
- within your selected range.
-
-
- 3c - EMPLOYEE ACCOUNTS DATA FIELDS
-
- Each account number in your employee database represents one specific
- employee. Along with this employee account number are kept other
- elements of information about each employee. When setting up an
- employee account, the following information will be needed:
-
- EMPLOYEE NUMBER An alphanumeric input up to four characters used
- to identify each employee. This can be any number
- or group of letters or a combination of the two.
-
- ACTIVE Enter "Y" if the employee is currently working for
- you or "N" if he is not and you do not want
- FINANCE MANAGER to continue to update his file.
-
- NAME Enter the employee's full name (how it is listed
- on his W-4 form). We suggest that you enter last
- name, comma (,), first name. FINANCE MANAGER will
- reverse the employee's name when printing labels,
- checks or W-2s. If you do not put a comma (,)
- between last and first names, the employee's name
- will be printed as input.

- should tell you that it did not find your Payroll files. Enter "Y" at
- the "Create new Files" prompt. From the Payroll main menu, select
- "F4" and you will be ready to enter your employee accounts.

- field), in order to scroll through the active employee
-
-
- Page 16
- FINANCE MANAGER II - Payroll
-
-
- accounts to search for the account you have just added. If
- you have added your account correctly, it will
- automatically be in order within this list. The list reads

-
-
- 3f - CHANGING EXISTING EMPLOYEES
-
- The steps below outline the procedure for making changes to your
- existing employee accounts.
-
- 1. Select "F4" at the Payroll main menu.
-
- 2. With the cursor at the employee number prompt, type in the
- account number you wish to change. If you wish to accept the
- default account press ENTER. To choose a different account, move
- the highlighted pointer through the account list that appears on
- the screen by using the up and down keypad arrows.
-
- 3. Because the account number you have entered is an existing
- employee number, the system prompts:
-
-
- ACTIVE ACCOUNT Modify/Delete/Quit(M/D/Q):_
-
-
- Answer this prompt with "M". You are now in the change mode.
-
- 4. Make any desired changes the existing data, but you are not able
- to change the account number. Press ENTER to leave any field
- unchanged.
-
- 5. If you want to go back to a previous field while you are changing
- data, you may do so by pressing the Backspace key.
-
- 6. After you make the necessary changes to your data, press ENTER or
- the PgDn key until the system prompts "Are inputs correct
- (Y/N):_". Type "Y" to save your changes. If you enter a "N",
- the system will ignore all changes and the cursor will return to
- the account number field.
-
-
- 3g - DELETING EMPLOYEES
-
- When deleting employees, there cannot be any transactions for that
- employee number. If there are transactions for the account to be
- deleted, FINANCE MANAGER will not allow the account to be deleted.
-
-
-
- Page 17
- FINANCE MANAGER II - Payroll
-
-
-
- Be sure to practice deleting accounts on your demo WORK file before
- you delete a "real" employee from your "real" data files.
-
- To delete an employee account follow the steps below:
-
- 1. Select "F4" at the Payroll main menu.
-
- 2. Then enter the number of the account to be deleted while at the
- employee account number prompt. The system will then prompt:
-
-
- ACTIVE ACCOUNT Modify/Delete/Quit(M/D/Q):_
-
-
- 3. Select "D". The system will prompt you "Are you sure (Y/N):_" If
- you answer with "Y" the account will then be deleted.
-
-
- 3h - SUGGESTED METHOD FOR SETTING BEGINNING BALANCES
-
- When setting up your Payroll, as well as employee beginning balances,
- you must be sure that you are in balance with your General Ledger.
- This is a vitally important procedure to remember when setting up your
- books. The following steps will insure that you are in balance:
-
- 1. Set up all your employee accounts with a zero beginning balance
- first.
-
- 2. You then have two options to enter any prior payroll balance:
-
- 3. You may enter them in the Employee Beginning Balance input
- fields. These balances will then show as a lump sum on your
- year-to-date Payroll Register report and W-2s. If you are
- starting a new accounting year and have preexisting vacation and
- sick leave balances we recommend for those to be entered as a
- total sum in there corresponding fields.
-
- 4. Or you may enter them as individual transactions (see section 4),
- broken down by prior pay periods for each employee. We recommend
- entering all your prior payroll balances as individual
- transactions. Then enter manual checks to pay all transactions
- just entered. As these transactions will be posted to the
- General Ledger you should ensure that you have removed any
- previously entered G/L transactions to avoid duplicate data.
-
- 5. After all beginning balances have been entered, print a
- year-to-date (Jan-Dec) Payroll Register report to verify all
- current employee balances for your selected pay period. To
- verify the correct balances for sick leave and holiday print the
- Vacation & Sick Report.
-
- 6. After you have verified all account balances you are now up to
- date and fully operational. If you want your General Ledger
- Payroll account to reflect the current balances of all Payroll
- accounts, you should go to the Payroll Utility main menu and post
- the transactions to the General Ledger. See section 7c for
- detailed information.
-
- Note: Make sure that you delete any preexisting payroll
-
-

-
- transactions in the General Ledger, so they will not be
- listed twice.

- payroll check needed.
-
-
- 4b - TRANSACTION DATA FIELDS

- This advanced feature allows you to scroll through your employee
- account listing without ever having to memorize, or even type in,
- an account number.
-
- 3. To return to the previous menu, press ESC.
-
- Before entering your own transactions, practice adding, changing and

-
-
-
- Page 22
- FINANCE MANAGER II - Payroll
-
-
- Note: Answer this message with "Y" if you need to manually change
- the computers calculated payroll deductions. Otherwise
- answer with "N". If you had preexisting payroll or were
- calculating earnings and deductions differently than the
- automatic method used by Finance Manager you would answer
- the above prompt with "Y". You will then be allowed to
- change each of the calculated amounts.
-
- 8. If you are entering a transaction and you want to go back to a
- previous field, use the Backspace key.
-
- 9. You may abort the transaction at any time by pressing ESC.
-
- 10. After you have entered all your transactions the system will
- prompt you:
-
- Are inputs correct (Y/N):Y
-
- Answer the prompt with "Y" if you wish to save the transaction.
- The cursor will then automatically return to the Employee Number
- field for the next transaction. If you answer this prompt with a

- inputs will be ignored and the cursor returns to the first input
- field.
-
- 11. After you have entered all your transactions, press the ESC key
- to return to the Payroll Main Menu.
-
-
- 4e - CHANGING EXISTING TRANSACTIONS
-
- If you discover an error in an earlier transaction, or if you would
- like to change previously entered information, FINANCE MANAGER allows
- you to do so. Outlined below are the procedures for changing
- previously entered transactions.
-
- 1. Select "F2" at the Payroll Main Menu.
-
- 2. The system prompts you for "ENTER DATA FOR PAYROLL TRANSACTION
- SEARCH".
-
- 3. Enter data in the fields you want to search for. For example, if
- you want to search for all transactions which have a pay period
- ending date of "05-06-89", you would move to the Pay Period
- Ending field and enter the date. Upper and lower case does not
- matter in alphanumeric fields, and you do not have to complete
- the field. For example, if you entered only the first part of
- the date "05", FINANCE MANAGER will find all dates which begin
- with "05" (i.e. "05-06-89"). You could also add an employee
- number parameter to the search and, consequently, find only the
- "05" pay period dates for a particular employee.
-
- Any field left blank is an assumed wild card for that field.
- Thus if you leave ALL of the fields blank, all transactions are
- selected by the search. Either press ENTER or the PgDn key until
- you are prompted with "Are Inputs Correct (Y/N):_". If your
- entries are correct enter "Y". If you enter "N" you will return
- to the first input screen to start again.
-
- To assist you in finding an employee or chart of accounts account
-
-
- Page 23
- FINANCE MANAGER II - Payroll
-
-
- number, pressing the "F2" key while at the corresponding input
- field will display a pop-up accounts window. You can now scroll
- through your accounts listing and select the appropriate account
- to search for. Pressing "Enter" or "Backspace" will remove the
- pop-up accounts window.
-
- 4. Next, FINANCE MANAGER searches for all transactions containing
- the values you have specified. As each transaction is displayed,
- the program displays the following prompt:
-
- Modify/Delete/Continue/Reverse/Begin/End/+/-/Quit:_
-
- You must select M,D,C,R,B,E,+,-, or Q. Where:
-
- M = Modify (change) transaction shown.
- D = Delete (remove) transaction shown.
- C = Continue (find next transaction that matches search).
- R = Reverse continue (find prior transaction that matches
- search).
- B = Beginning (go to first transaction in file).
- E = Ending (go to last transaction in file).
- + = Go to next consecutive transaction in file.
- - = Go to prior consecutive transaction in file.
- Q = Quit transaction search.
-
- 5. As long as you continue to answer the above prompt with "C",
- FINANCE MANAGER continues searching for all transactions
- containing the values you have specified. Selecting "R" does the
- same as "C" except it searches backwards.
-
- 6. Answering the prompt with a "+", causes FINANCE MANAGER to
- display the next consecutive transaction; a "-" shows you the
- previous transaction (regardless of search parameters).
-
- 7. Entering a "B" or an "E" will take you to the Beginning or End of
- the transaction file respectively. It ignores search parameters.
-
- 8. When the search function displays the transaction you wish to
- change, answer the prompt with an "M" (Modify).
-
- 9. You are now in the change mode. Remember, ENTER leaves a field
- unchanged. Change data in any field by typing in the new value
- for the given field. If you change any payroll number FINANCE
- MANAGER will recalculate the earnings, deductions, employer
- liability and accrued vacation and sick hours at the bottom of
- the screen.
-
- 10. FINANCE MANAGER will tell you if the transaction has already been
- posted to your General Ledger. If the transaction has been
- posted you will not be able to make ANY changes. This is
- necessary to avoid out-of-balance conditions with your General
- Ledger.
-
- If you need to change the fields of a posted transaction we
- recommend that you enter a new transaction to reflect any
- adjustment to the original transaction.
-
- 11. If you have made a mistake, or you would like to return to a
- previous field, simply use the Backspace key. Use the ESC key to
- ignore your changes and return to the Main Menu.

-
-
-
- 12. After you have made all necessary changes to your transactions
- the program will prompt you "Are inputs correct (Y/N):_". Answer
- "Y" if you wish to save them. The cursor will then return to the
- first input screen and you can continue on. Answer "N" and the
- system will ignore all changes and return to the first input
- field.
-
- 13. If you press the ESC key the system will prompt you: "FIND
- ANOTHER (Y/N):_" if you answer "Y" your cursor returns to the
- first input screen. Answer "N" you will return to the main menu.
-
-
- 4f - DELETING TRANSACTIONS
-
- To delete or remove a transaction PERMANENTLY, do the following:
-
- 1. Select "F2" at the Payroll Main Menu.
-
- 2. Enter search data and find desired transaction as described in
- "Changing Transactions".
-
- 3. When the transaction you wish to delete is displayed on the
- screen, answer "D" at the prompt below.
-
- Modify/Delete/Continue/Reverse/Begin/End/+/-/Quit:
-
- 5. After you have deleted the desired transaction(s), you may use
- the "Sort" function. (See Section Seven "Other features and
- functions - Sorting Transactions.") When sorting the
- transactions, the program frees disk space which was formerly
- used by the now deleted transactions.
-
- PAID (Not posted) To delete a paid (not posted) transaction you must
- TRANSACTIONS: first void the check and then you will be allowed to
- delete the transaction.
-
- PAID & POSTED To delete a paid and posted transaction all you have
- TRANSACTIONS: to do is delete the transaction. Finance Manager
- will automatically delete the transaction and create
- a reversal transaction to be posted to the G/L next
- time you do a posting.
-
-
- 4g - POINTS TO REMEMBER
-
- When searching for transactions remember that the transaction file
- will be shown in the order it was last sorted by. See section 7b
- "Sorting Transactions" for more information.
-
- When you delete a posted transaction, Finance Manager will remove the
- transaction from the payroll system as well as make a reversing entry
- to be posted to the General Ledger. The net effect will be as if the
- transaction was never entered.

- SECTION FIVE - REPORTS
-
-
- The Payroll Reports Menu allows you to generate a full spectrum of
- Payroll reports from your data base. The reports menu ("F3" from the
- Payroll Main Menu) appears as follows:
-
- --------- PAYROLL REPORTS MENU ---------
- | |
- | ESC Return to Payroll Main Menu |
- | F1 Payroll Journal |
- | F2 Payroll Register |
- | F3 Check Register |
- | F4 Vacation & Sick Report |
- | F5 Employee Listing |
- | F6 Employee Address Labels |
- | F7 Paid Payroll Recap |
- | F8 Quarterly Tax Summary |
- | F9 Non-Posted Transaction Journal|
- | F10 General Ledger Distribution |
- | ENTER YOUR SELECTION: |
- | |
- ----------------------------------------
-
- Reports can be generated to show results for a specific month, a range
- of months, a quarter, a year, a pay period, etc. All reports may be
- generated at any time and for any 12 month range. This means that you
- are not limited to printing a report only once, and it also means that
- you can print a report for a prior period as well.
-
- Samples of each report are shown in Appendix A, and may be printed
- while using the DEMO accounts.
-
-
- 5a - GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR GENERATING REPORTS
-
- While printing any report you may, if desired, interrupt the printing
- in one of two ways:
-
- PAUSE THE PRINTER: When you are printing reports on your printer,
- you may pause the printing by pressing any key.
- Please keep in mind that most printers have a
- print buffer. Consequently, the report
- continues to print until the buffer is empty.
- Pressing any key again will continue your
- printout. This function will not work if you
- are sending reports to the screen, since reports
- will stop automatically as each screen is full.
-
- STOP THE PRINTER: If while printing, you wish to stop the printer
- and return to the menu, all you have to do is
- press the "Esc" key. Please keep in mind that
- most printers have a print buffer, causing the
- report to continue to print until the buffer is
- empty. You will, however, return to the menu
- immediately.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Page 26
- FINANCE MANAGER II - Payroll
-
-
- When generating reports, you have three output destination options.
- First, you may send the reports to the screen. Second, if you have a
- printer, you can print a hard copy. Finally, you can send your
- reports to a disk file. With this useful option, reports can be
- stored and then printed at a later date.
-
- This "Destination" prompt is an option for each of the available
- reports. To select the destination, answer the prompt below:
-
- TO SCREEN/PRINTER/DISK (S/P/D):__
-
- If you select "D" for disk, the system will prompt you for a disk
- "filename". Enter a filename of up to eight characters. The file
- will be saved on your data disk, with the file extension of ".RPT".
- If a file with the name entered already exists, the system will tell
- you so and ask if you want to delete the old file. If you answer "N",
- the new report will be appended to the already existing disk file.
-
- For some reports, you also need to specify reporting dates via the
- "Date" prompt. The date prompt appears as follows:
-
-
- ENTER DATE RANGE FOR REPORTS:
- STARTING Month:__ Year:__
- ENDING Month:__ Year:__
-
-
- These dates determine which months and years are shown on your
- reports. The ending month and year must be within twelve months of
- the starting month and year (maximum 12 month range). To get a
- year-to-date report you might select the dates 1-89 through 12-89.
- Likewise, if you want a first quarter report you should select 1-89
- through 3-89.
-
- When entering prompts for reports, remember that you may back up to a
- previous field by pressing the Backspace key. If you want to go back
- to the reports menu while you are at the input screen, press ESC.
-

- abort the check printing process and return to the menu by pressing
- the ESC key.
-
-
- 6b - VOIDING PRINTED CHECKS
-
- Check written to a specific employee may be voided by selecting "F2"

- When a transaction to be paid is found you will be prompted for "PAY
- THIS EMPLOYEE". Answer with a "Y" to pay or "N" to skip and not pay
- the transaction.

- this selection first.
-
-
- 7a - CONFIGURATION SETTINGS
-
- The configuration settings allow you to configure this module to your
- specific company, and to its specific General Ledger account numbers.
- This configuration is very important to your transactions, for
- pre-printed continuous form checks and to the General Ledger account
- numbers used. We recommend using Nebs checks form #9001 and either
- standard business window envelopes or Nebs form #775 DU-O-VUE Dual
- window envelopes. For the W-2s we recommend using Nebs W-2s form
- #9852. Nebs toll free order number is 1-800-225-9550.

-
- The configuration settings must be set up for each set of books you
- have. Be sure to carefully employ the following procedures when
- setting up the configuration settings.
-
- Prior to setting up this configuration, you must set up (add) several
- Payroll accounts to your G/L Chart of Accounts. These accounts must
- be active accounts in your G/L Chart of Accounts in order to be able
- to use the Payroll Module correctly (i.e. do not use these account
- numbers for any General Ledger transactions - only for use by the
- Payroll module).
-
- These accounts are used as interface accounts and posting accounts
- between the Payroll module and your General Ledger module. You can
- not use the Payroll module without these important accounts even if
- you want to use the Payroll module as a stand alone module. Set up
- one of each, of the following accounts in your G/L Chart of Accounts
- for Payroll:
-
- a. FICA Liability (type L) account
- b. FICA Expense (type E) account
- c. FUTA Liability (type L) account
- d. FUTA Expense (type E) account
- e. SUTA Liability (type L) account
- f. SUTA Expense (type E) account
- g. SDI Liability (type L) account
- h. SDI Expense (type E) account
- i. Other payroll tax Liability (type L) account
- j. Other payroll tax Expense (type E) account
- k. Federal Withholding (type L) account
- l. State Withholding (type L) account
- m. City Withholding (type L) account
- n. Salary & Wages (type E) account
- o. Checking account (type A) if not already set up
- p. Extra Deductions (type L) account

-
- When setting up the Payroll check printing feature for your continuous
- checks and other forms, you must specify in the following
- configuration what and where you want to have the following fields
- printed:
-
- ID#'S FED Enter your employer federal identification number
- as it will be listed on your W-2 forms.
-
- STATE Enter your employer state identification number as
- it will be listed on your W-2 forms.
-
- COMPANY Enter your company name as it will be listed on
- your W-2 forms.

- TO G/L (Y/N) General Ledger in detail or summary format.
- Selecting detail posting will post each Payroll
- transaction as a individual General Ledger
- transaction and you can post at any time; while
- answering "N" will cause the Payroll transactions
- to be grouped and summarized when posted to the
- General Ledger. Which ever method you choose the
- financial results will be the same. There is one
- other difference, however, if you select the
- detail posting, the actual Payroll transaction
- date will be used when posting to the General
- Ledger, while summary posting will prompt you for
- a POSTING DATE and will post every entered
- transaction to the posting date (even those with
- different month dates). If you are a beginner and
- do not have many transactions, we suggest that you
- select "Y" at this prompt.
-
- WORK DAYS/ Enter the actual number of days your employees
- YEAR will work each year including all holidays,
- usually 260 (52x5) days.
-
- HOURS PER Enter the number of hours your employees will work
- DAY, WEEK, for the pay periods listed. When calculating for
- SEMI-MONTH, Semi-Month and Month, calculate the hours per
- MONTH year. Example: If your employees work 40 hours
- per week and are paid semi-monthly, multiply 40 by
- 52 weeks in the year, divided by the 24 pay
- periods per year to equal 86.67 hours per pay
- period.
-
- FICA, FUTA, SUTA, For these fields, enter the percentage of tax, the
-
-
- Page 41
- FINANCE MANAGER II - Payroll
-
-
- SDI, OTHER yearly maximum taxable income limit, and the G/L
- employer liability accounts as well as employer
- expense accounts for these taxes.
-
- FICA is paid by both the employee and employer at
- the percent input.
-
- FUTA is paid by the employer.
-
- SUTA is paid by the employer.
-
- SDI is paid by either the employer or the
- employee. Answer the "EMPLY PAYS" prompt with "Y"
- to have the employee pay this amount, or enter "N"
- to have the employer pay. In most states this is
- paid by the employer ("N").
-
-
- G/L ACCOUNTS Enter here the account numbers you have created
- for: FICA, FUTA, SUTA, SDI, Other and Extra
- Deductions in the G/L Chart of Accounts in their
- respective fields. An account number listing will
- appear on the screen when you are at this prompt.
- These accounts are used to keep track of the total
- amounts deducted for liabilities and expenses. If
- you do not deduct from the employee's paycheck or
- you do not pay a particular amount you may enter a
- "0" for this account number.
-
-
- G/L LIABILITY Enter here the account numbers you have created
- ACCOUNTS for: Federal withholding, State withholding and
- City withholding in the G/L chart of Accounts. If
- you are not required to pay any one of the above
- withholding taxes, and have not set up an account
- in the General Ledger you may enter "0" for this
- account number.
-
- G/L EXPENSE Enter here the account number you have created for
- ACCOUNTS the Salary & Wages account in the G/L chart of
- accounts. REQUIRED.
-
-
- CHECK WRITING At the "Print Check#(Y/N):_" prompt answer "Y" if

- you have the check number already printed on your
- checks."
-
- At the "Print Address(Y/N):_" prompt, answer "Y"
- if you want your employee's address to be printed
- on his check, or "N" if you do not want his
- address to be printed on his check.
-
- At the "Name Location:__ __" prompt. Enter a
- number between 32 and 36 in the row field (which
- indicates the number of lines from the top of the
- check starting with the first line on the stub)
- and a number between 2 and 29 in the column field
- (which indicates the number of columns from the
- edge of the check, after the perforations). These
-
-
- Page 42
- FINANCE MANAGER II - Payroll
-
-
- numbers will place the name and address so that it
- will show correctly when using a window envelope.
- (Standard business window envelope uses Row 34 and
- COL 11).
-
- FINANCE MANAGER will then ask you "Are inputs correct (Y/N):Y". If
- you take the default of "Y" then you be notified that FINANCE MANAGER
- is saving your configuration and then you will return to the Payroll
- Utilities menu. If you answer "N" the cursor will return to "ID#'S
- FED" field and you can start again.
-
-
- 7b - SORTING TRANSACTIONS
-
- The Payroll module normally keeps transactions organized in the order
- in which they are input. The Sort function allows the user to sort or
- organize the transactions by: date of input, transaction date,
- employee order or check number order.
-
- The sort procedure is not a required feature but it is useful, for
- example, when printing transaction journals or employee balance
- reports and you would like to insure that all transactions are in date
- order. To accomplish this, all you have to do is select date order
- sort. It would be a good practice to sort the transactions once a
- month before printing your reports. The sort order does not affect
- any report balances and it is purely for cosmetic purposes. When
- sorting transactions this will also free up disk space which was
- formally occupied by deleted transactions.
-
- To start sorting transactions, select "F1" at the Payroll Utilities
- Menu. The following screen appears:
-
-
- ----------- SELECT SORT ORDER ----------
- | |
- | ESC Return to Utilities Menu |
- | F1 Transaction Input Order |
- | F2 Date Order |
- | F3 Employee Order |
- | F4 Check Number Order |
- | |
- | |
- | |
- | |
- | |
- | |
- | ENTER YOUR SELECTION: |
- | |
- ----------------------------------------
-
-
- 1. Select the order in which you would like to sort the transactions
- by.
-
- 2. FINANCE MANAGER automatically sorts all transactions.
-
- 3. Press any key to exit and return to the Payroll Main Menu when the
- sort is completed.
-
- If you have more transactions than memory can hold at one time, the
-
-
- Page 43
- FINANCE MANAGER II - Payroll
-
-
- default disk drive is used to store a temporary file while sorting
- transactions. It is important to remember, therefore, that the
- default drive must have adequate remaining disk space, and it must NOT
- be "write protected" .
-
- The system will tell if there is not enough memory on your default
- drive to sort your file, the sort will abort and you must put a
- formatted, blank disk in your default drive (usually drive A:) before
- selecting your sort order again.
-
-
- 7c - POSTING TO THE GENERAL LEDGER
-
- Payroll Utilities Menu selection "F2" will post transactions entered
- into this module to your General Ledger accounts. Depending on
- whether you selected the detail or summary post option in the
- configuration (described above) your Payroll transactions are posted
- according to the option you selected.
-
- You'll be pleased to know that this posting procedure is a smart
- procedure. It will only post the transactions which have not already
- been posted. Because of this incredible time saving feature, you may
- accidentally post as many times as you wish without worry of any
- errors or double posting.
-
- Note: This posting procedure will only post the transactions (checks)
- which have already been paid.
-
- This posting process is mandatory in order to interface with the
- General Ledger. Without running this procedure, no transactions or
- activity from this module will shown on your General Ledger
- reports.
-
- NOTE: After this posting procedure is complete, the transactions which
- were posted can no longer be changed.
-
- Because of this unique safety feature, we recommend that you only post
- after you are absolutely sure all transactions have been entered
- correctly and that any adjustments have been made. Generally, a good
- rule for you to follow is to post transactions once a month, on the
- last day of that month.
-
- After you have run this procedure, you can print any General Ledger
- reports, and all paid payroll from this module will be automatically
- included in your General Ledger reports.
-
- In order to run this procedure, select "F2" on the Payroll Utilities
- menu. If you selected the detail posting option the posting will
- commence. If you did not select detail posting you will then be
- prompted for a posting date. This prompt is as follows:
-
- Enter Post Transaction Date:__-__-__
-
- When using the summary post option this date will show for all of your
- Payroll transactions in the General Ledger as the date of posting.
- Usually this date should be the current date (i.e. the last date for
- the current month). If detail posting was selected the Payroll
- transactions in your General Ledger will have the same dates as they
- do in the Payroll Journal.

- 7d - PAYROLL TAX TABLES
-
- WARNING: It is very important that you enter your Tax Table data
- correctly. Hooper International assumes no liability for
- errors. We consider it mandatory to test your payroll
- deductions by manually calculating your payroll to verify
- that all deductions are correct.
-
- The payroll tax tables contain all of the Federal, State and City tax
- information as well as any other information about Earned Income
- Credit for your particular state. FINANCE MANAGER needs these numbers
- to calculate your employee's taxes and withholdings. Many states and
- cities have different percentages and these percentages are liable to
- change every year. With FINANCE MANAGER you can modify the tables
- yourself to keep them current with changing tax laws.
-
- By selecting "F5" from the Payroll Utilities menu you will see the
- following screen:
-
-
- TAX TABLE(F,S,C,E):_ DEDUCT FED TAX(Y/N):_ Max Amount:__________

-
-
- 7. For state or city tax only. Use if you are in a state or city
- which requires you to take either a dollar amount or a percentage
- amount and gives a qualifier. For example, your state income tax
- guide tells you to take either $5,000 or 17% of the gross income
- which ever is greater. Enter "Y". Or your state income tax guide
- may tell you to take either $5,000 or 17% of the gross income

- the cursor will return to the Tax Table field. Continue to enter your
- other tax tables. If you enter "N" at the prompt, the cursor will
- return to the Tax Table field and will allow you to reenter your
- inputs. It is very important that you enter the correct data into the
- correct fields otherwise all of your tax calculations will be wrong
- for the entire year.
-
- Continue entering the Tax Table information for your City and State
- and the information for Earned Income Credit. Please refer to the Tax
- Guides for your respective City and State. Repeat steps 1-10 for each
- of the Tax tables you will need for your particular City and State.
-
- After you have entered all your Tax Table information for each table
- that is necessary for your City and State and the Advanced Income
- Credit information, make sure you have saved your inputs by answering
- "Are Inputs Correct" before you return to the Payroll Utlilities main
- menu.
-
-
- 7e - PRINTING END OF YEAR W-2s
-
- This feature of FINANCE MANAGER will print W-2 forms automatically
- without you having to figure out any of the amounts.
-
- Load your printer with your pre-printed continuous W-2 forms.
- Continuous W-2s can be ordered from Nebs. Nebs toll free order number

-
-
- 8b - HELPFUL HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS
-
- * Keep a CURRENT backup copy of all your data files. Each time you
- have finished entering new data make a copy of your data files and
- have at least four set's which you rotate. This will safeguard
- against loss of data due to a power failure or other problems.
-
- * Use the Shift PrtSc keys to make a hard copy of current screen
- display.
-
- * You may run this module WITHOUT the interface to the General
- Ledger module simply by not posting to the General Ledger (F2 on
- the Utilities Menu). The system will, however, post to your
- General Ledger when you do an End of Period Posting (F3 on the
- Utilities Menu). To totally avoid any interface, simply set up
- this module with a separate data file, using a different name than
- your General Ledger data file name. You will, however, have to
- set up a few dummy G/L accounts (the required G/L accounts need to
- run this module).
-
- * When printing checks, be sure that your printer can print 85
- column across. Deviation from this will result in the inability
- to line up your pre-printed checks.
-
- * The following explains how FINANCE MANAGER figures taxes:
-
- 1. FINANCE MANAGER figures the yearly gross income by multiplying
- amount paid per pay period by either:
-
- 12 for those employees paid monthly
- 24 for those employees paid semi-monthly
- 26 for those employees paid biweekly
- 52 for those employees paid weekly
-
- 2. Subtracts deductions.
-
-
- Page 49
- FINANCE MANAGER II - Payroll
-
-
-
- Deductions = Annual tax deduction amount (on the tax table)
- times the number in the State deduction field (in the employee
- account data base)
-
- If the employee has more than one deduction and the annual tax
- deduction amount (on the tax table) multiplied by the number in
- the state deduction field (in the employee account data base)
- is not correct according to the state tax guide, then you can
- add any additional amounts in the state exemption field (in the
- employee account data base). For example, the annual tax
- deduction amount for a single deduction is $2,500 and the
- annual tax deduction amount for two deductions is $3,000. If
- the employee has two deductions you will enter $2,500 in the
- annual tax deduction amount field (on the tax table) and a "1"
- in the state deduction field (in the employee account data
- base). 1 times $2,500 = $2,500. Enter the remaining $500 in
- the state annual exemption field (in the employee account data
- base).
-
- 3. Subtracts amount in State annual exemption field (in the
- employee account data base)
-
- 4. Subtracts Federal Income Tax already paid if you answered "Y"
- on the tax table and your state allows it to be deducted.
-
- 5. All of the above equals the annualized Taxable Income.
-
- 6. From the Taxable Income FINANCE MANAGER will calculate the
- taxes that the employee will pay.
-
- 7. Finally, if your state gives you a tax credit enter the total
- dollar amount in the State Annual Tax Credit field in the
- employee account data base.
-
- 8. The annualized Payroll deduction is then divided by the number
- of pay periods in one year to give you the deduction for this
- pay period.
-
- * If you have multiple state payroll you have two options:
-
- A. Set up a set of books for each state and then use the G/L
- merge transactions function to combine the G/L transactions
- into one set of books.
-
- B. Using the DOS copy command, create different tax tables for
- each state and save each one as a seperate filename. Copy the
- one you need to the filename of your set of books (e.g. COPY
- COLORADO.TAX WORK.TAX to use Colorado tax tables).
