Payroll Concepts

The primary function of the payroll application is to calculate payroll for salaried, hourly, and commission only employees. The information you enter in the payroll application is automatically supplied to other parts of the system. In this case, this information is used in the personnel application to update history information.

 

Accurate Payroll History Information

The payroll application maintains an accurate account of personnel information affecting each pay period. This includes rate of pay, deductions for taxes, allowed vacation and sick days, and so on. The payroll application also maintains payroll history for each employee and updates general ledger.

 

Reporting Capabilities

To operate your business more effectively, you need immediate access to information about reports. A catalog of standard reports with pre-designed formats makes reporting easy. For more information, see About Payroll Reports.
