Steps for Running Payroll for Schedules
The Payroll Module is where you calculate and process payroll for a specified period of time based on finalized schedules. Payroll can only be completed on finalized schedules.
When finalizing a schedule, if the hours in the Billing and Payroll information/Payroll section of the schedule are 0.00, the system will automatically move information into the Payroll Time fields of the schedule based on the actual hours worked, and the Pay Hours At: option selected on the Caregiver's Payroll options. Whatever is populated in this portion of a finalized schedule is what will be used in payroll for the schedule. If you wish to apply an override for payroll for a schedule, you can manually populate information in the payroll section of the schedule.
PLEASE NOTE:
The tools displayed at the top of the Payroll Module screen are a reflection of what External Payroll Packages have been selected, in the Agency Office Module, under the Settings tool, Payroll Settings. (Additional setup may also be required in order to utilize a selected External Payroll Package.)

Step 2 - View Calculated Payroll | - Once Payroll has been calculated, click Next Step/View Calculated Payroll (Step 2) tool at the top of NOTE: Any calculated payroll records where the rate is 0.00 will be indicated in a bold underlined font in the main display area. If you detect an error, correct it before going to the next step. Corrections can be made to individual records in the View Calculated (Step 2) screen by selecting the appropriate record in the grid and clicking on the Edit tool (pencil) in the grid toolbar. If you are making corrections in the View Calculated (Step 2) grid, any payroll records that you have edited will be indicated in a bold italic font if the Auto Refresh tool in the grid toolbar is unchecked. Sometimes the error may warrant that you clear the incorrect record(s) in order to recalculate the payroll for the applicable schedule(s). If you need to clear what has been calculated, verify that only the records you wish to clear are selected (the checkbox in the grid for the record is checked). Then use the Clear Record tool in the ribbon to clear what has been calculated for the selected schedules. Note that clearing any single record will also clear all related records attached to the same schedule so that the schedule can be recalculated. Then make the appropriate correction(s) in the schedule or caregiver pay rates. Calculate the payroll for the same date range on this schedule again. When all of the information in the main display grid of the View Calculated (Step2) is correct, make sure all of the records are checked and click the Post Payroll tool. Posting your payroll indicates that it is correct and ready to be printed or exported to an external payroll package. |
