- $39
- #7785/4466 [2 disks]
- is a payroll tax program that allows you to set up new tax tables at the end of
- the year. It is easy to set up and use. Many report formats are available,
- although none are specific for filling out tax forms.

- Painless Payroll 5.6 [PAYROLL]
- Pierce, Kendall B. ASP
- $75
- #7449/3071 [2 disks]
- is an excellent payroll program. Features include built-in state and Federal
- tax tables; weekly, monthly, or annual pay periods; hourly, salaried or
- commissioned with optional base pay; pay codes; reports for use in preparing
- tax returns; support for multiple companies; the ability to print W2's and
- 1099's; and automatic interface with the Painless Accounting general ledger.
-
- Painless Payroll allows you to edit the tax tables, which is very important.
- Without this capability, you are at the mercy of the programmer when tax rates
- change. Although Painless will interface with the Painless general ledger,
- there is no export feature for moving data to other programs.
-
- Where Painless Payroll excels is its design. Painless has all of its features
- available in a single set of pull-down menus. Entering, reviewing, and editing
- of data are all substantially easier and more efficient with Painless.
- Requires 512k and a hard disk.

- Zpay3 3.6
- ZPAY Payroll Systems ASP
- $75
- #7277/1723 [2 disks]
- is a professional quality stand-alone payroll system which used to be sold as
- a retail-only product. It allows the user to update the tax tables.
-
- ZPAYII will handle salaried, hourly, commissioned, and salary plus commission
- employees. ZPAYII will allow you to pay non-employee compensation for
- "non-standard workers" or "outside individual contractors" which handle their
- own tax deductions. With this feature you may print checks for them, track the
- pay and print 1099 forms at year end. ZPAYII will allow you to have two
- overtime rates, bonuses, six additional pay deductions in addition to the
- normal federal tax, FICA, state tax, local tax, and an SDI type tax. ZPAYII
- will record and track vacation pay as well. ZPAYII does cost accounting and
- allows title assignment for up to ten different department accounts.
-
- ZPAYII reports include the pay period, month to date, quarter to date as well
- as year to date figures. There are tax reports which also give you the FUTA
- and SDI information. ZPAYII will print checks with stub information similar to
- the payroll reports. The check format is a general purpose check available
- from many computer forms sources. At the end of the year ZPAYII will print the
- W-2 forms and 1099-MISC forms in addition to the year end payroll information
- reports. Its printouts make quarterly tax reporting a breeze.
-
- Number of employees is limited only by disk space. A hard disk is not
- required, but you do need two drives. The employee data base is a valuable
- asset in itself as it contains much more than just the employees payroll
- information and can be used for printing labels for mailing and other
- functions. This is one of the best payroll packages around.

- Takehome Pay Calculation 3.63
- Farnam, R. G.
- $40
- #7277/1800
- lets you analyze the effects on your take-home pay of varying different
- factors in your payroll deductions. Items which can be changed include Federal
- withholding, 401k contributions, and other deductions. This sounds more
- simplistic than it really is when you run the program. We think this could be
- a useful analysis tool for individuals or businesses, just as the author says.
- An hourly pay calculation is provided for users who want to figure their pay
- on a hourly rate instead of a set salary rate. Annual tax tables are provided
- including the 1991 Federal Tax Tables.

- #2785

- employees. It also prints envelopes, address labels, and payable checks. It does
- not contain tax tables; you have to look up taxes in Federal tax guides.
