        Step by Step
        
         
        1     Open the Employee Selection window (PR> Maintenance> Employee).  
            
         
         
        2     The General Information tab displays the basic employee information.  
            
                 
                
                    - The Clear icon 
 is used to erase field values on the General tab. 
	Click the Clear icon  drop-down menu  to select the information 
	you would like to erase. 
                    
                        - When you attach a position to the employee record, you can attach 
		the union unit that is associated with the plan on the position. If the 
		union unit applies to the employee record but you would like to remove 
		the position from the employee record, you can clear the Position 
		field using the Clear icon 
 drop-down menu. 
                    
                    - The Employee Number field is used to enter the employee number of a new employee. Once an 
		employee has been created, the employee number can only be changed using the 
		Change Employee Number feature (Payroll> Utilities> Change Employee Number). Click here for 
	information on changing the employee number attached to an employee record.
 
                    
                        - The Change Employee Number feature must be used to change the employee number because it 
			will update all of the history records and outstanding transactions on the 
			employee with the new employee number.
 
                        - The Employee Number can be up to 10 alphanumeric characters.
 
                    
                    - The Status drop-down menu is used to set the status of the employee.
 
                    
                        - The Pending status is for employees that have not been hired or will not be part of a 
			Payroll checks batch (PR> Computer Checks). Pending status 
		employee records will not be included in a Payroll module Computer 
		Checks batch (PR> Computer Checks). The Pending status allows you to 
			create the employee record before hiring the employee. Once the employee has 
			been hired, change the status of the employee to Active so that you can include 
			them in a Payroll checks batch.
 
                        
                            - If you use the position control feature (HR> Utilities> Setup>
			Use Position Control toggle), you can attach as many employee 
			records with a pending status to a single position control point, 
			but you can have only one Active status employee record attached to 
			a position control point.
 
                        
                        - The Active status is for employees that are currently employed. Payroll checks can only be 
			generated on Active status employees (PR> Computer Checks or Manual Checks).
 
                        - The Purge status is used to delete old employee records and is used in conjunction with the Purge 
			Employees feature. The Purge Employees feature has not been implemented in 
			Version 7, so this status currently has not function.
 
                        
                            - If you use the position control feature (HR> Utilities> Setup>
			Use Position Control toggle), changing an employee record to 
			Purge will remove the position control point from the employee 
			record. This allows you to add the position control point to another 
			employee record.
 
                        
                        - Change an employee to Terminated status after the last payroll check has been made out to 
			the employee. Payroll checks cannot be generated on employees with a Terminated 
			status in the PR Computer Checks process.
 
                        
                            - If you use the position control feature (HR> Utilities> Setup>
			Use Position Control toggle), changing an employee record to 
			Terminated will remove the position control point from the employee 
			record. This allows you to add the position control point to another 
			employee record.
 
                        
                    
                    - The Department field is used to attach a department to the employee. Click the Department field label to select a department from a list.
 
                    
                    - The Position field is used to attach a position to the employee. 
	This field is only used if you have positions set up in the Human Resources 
	module or you are using the Position Control feature. Click the Position 
		field label to select a position from a list.
 
                    
                        - Positions are not necessarily the same as job titles because positions can be set up for specific 
			job titles, or they can be set up as generic categories. For example, you may 
			have a position titled CLERK that is used for both the Payroll Clerk job title 
			and the Billing Clerk job title. You could also set up a separate position for 
			each job title. In this example, you would have a separate position for the 
			Billing Clerk and Payroll Clerk job titles.
 
                        - Positions are created and maintained using the Position Maintenance window (HR> Maintenance> Position).
 
                        - The Position Control feature is used to limit the number and kinds of positions that are 
			allowed in each department. For example, if you used the Position Control 
			feature (HR> Maintenance> Position Control) to add four Line Service Technician positions in the Line Service 
			department, you can have only four employee records attached to the Line Service 
			Technician position in the Line Service department.
 
                        
                            - Position Control is set up by checking the Use Position Control toggle on the 
				Setup window (HR> Utilities> HR Setup).
 
                            - Positions are added to a department using the Position Control Maintenance window (HR> 
				Maintenance> Position Control).
			Click here for information on position control maintenance.
 
                        
                        - When you attach a position to an employee record, you can select the 
		plan and union unit that apply to the employee record.
		Click here for an overview on union 
		units.
 
                        - You can clear the position attached to the employee record by 
		clicking the drop-down arrow next to the Clear icon 
 and selecting Clear 
		position. If there is a union unit that populated on the employee record 
		from the position, it will stay attached to the employee record. 
                    
                    - The Union field is used to add a union unit to an employee 
	record.
- The Union field is not enabled on the Employee Maintenance 
		window. A union unit is inherited from the position and plan selected in 
		the Position field.
 - Click here for an overview on 
		union units.
 - Unions units are created and maintained in the Human Resources 
		module (HR> Maintenance> Union units).
 
 
                    - The Job Title field is used to enter the job title of the employee.
 
                    
                        - If there is a Human Resources module position attached to the employee record in the 
			Position field, the job title does not have to be the same as the position. 
			For example, you may have an HR position titled CLERK that is used for both the 
			Payroll Clerk job title and the Billing Clerk job title. You could also set up a 
			separate position for each job title. In this example, you would have a separate 
			HR position for the Billing Clerk and Payroll Clerk job titles.
 
                    
                    - The Supervisor field is used to associate a supervisor with an employee record.
- Individual employees cannot be selected as a supervisor. An employee must be associated with a role, and then that role can be specified as the supervisor role by  clicking the Supervisor field label. Roles are created and maintained on the Role Maintenance window (SS> Maintenance> Role). Click here for information on Role Maintenance.
 - The employee associated with the role attached to an employee record will receive a notification if a personnel action form is generated for that employee. Personnel action forms are generated through the PAF Wizard (HR> Personnel Action Forms> PAF Wizard). Click here for information on the PAF Wizard.
 
 
                    - The Enrollment Plan field is used to attach the employee to an enrollment plan.
- Enrollment plans are used to associate groups of employees with the groups of deductions and benefits that they are eligible to enroll in during an open enrollment period.
 - Enrollment plans are created and maintained on the Enrollment Plan Maintenance window (HR> Maintenance> Enrollment Plan). Click here for information on Enrollment Plan Maintenance.
 
 
                    - The Hire Date field is used to enter the hire date of the employee.
 
                    
                    - The Anniversary Date is important because it is used in the calculation of accruals.
 
                    
                        - The anniversary date is used to calculate accruals that are set up to apply based on the number 
			of months an employee has been working.  For example, if an employee begins to 
			accumulate flextime after they have been working at the organization for 6 
			months, the accrual will calculate the 6 months based on the anniversary date of 
			the employee. It will not use the hire date of the employee. If an employee has 
			an anniversary date of 05/15/08, the accrual will be applied to the employee 
			when the pay period end is greater than 11/15/08.
 
                        - Accruals can also be applied each year on an employee’s anniversary date.
 
                        - Accruals can also be calculated based on the balance of other accruals.
 
                    
                    - The Seniority Date field is used to specify a seniority date for the employee.
 
                    - The Review Month field is used to record the month that the employee should receive their review. This must be between 1 and 12.
 
                    - The Termination Date field is used to enter the termination date 
		of an employee. This is a required field if the employee has a status of 
		Terminated.
 
                    
                        - If you accidentally enter a termination date in this field, 
		highlight the date and press DELETE to remove the date from the field.
 
                    
                
                
                    - The SSN field is used to enter a social security number on an employee record.
 
                    
                        - You can set security on this field using the DB Security feature (SS> Maintenance> DB 
			Security).
 
                    
                    - Enter the employee's First, Middle and Last Name.
 
                    - The Date of Birth field is required if the IMPUTE deduction is 
	attached to the Deductions tab. The IMPUTE deduction is used to calculate 
	imputed income for life insurance. If you do not attach a date of birth and 
	the IMPUTE deduction is attached to the employee record, you will receive an 
	exception on the Computer Checks process after the payroll has been 
	calculated (PR> Computer Checks> second Exceptions step). Click here for more information on the IMPUTE deduction.
 
                    - The EEOC Revisions field is used to  attach EEOC job categories, functions and race codes to the employee. The EEOC information attached to the employee record will be used to generate the EEOC 
		report.
- Click the Create icon 
 to open the EEOC Revision window. - The Effective Date field will populate with today's date.
- You cannot create two revisions that share the same effective date.
 
 - Select an EEO Type from the drop-down menu.
 - Click the Race, Job, and Function field labels to add the revision details.
 - Click the Confirm icon 
 when complete. - These fields are not required, so you can leave these fields blank if you do not generate the EEOC 
			report using the application.
 
 
                    - The Photograph field is used to attach a photograph of an employee to the employee record. 
		Click the Photograph icon 
 at the top of the window if you would like to 
		attach a photo to the employee record. 
                    - The Elected/Appointed toggle is used if the employee works in an elected or 
		appointed position.
 
                    
                        - Employees that work in elected or appointed positions can be excluded from the Unemployment 
			Report (PR> Reports> Unemployment).
 
                    
                    - Check the Part-Time toggle if the employee is a part-time employee.
 
                    - Fill in as much of the additional name, address and contact information as desired.
 
                
             
         
         
        3     The Financial tab is where you set the pay code, pay schedule, and hourly rate/salary 
on the employee record.  
            
                 
                
                    - The icons at the top of the window will vary depending on the tab 
	selected in the window.
 
                    
                        - The Clear icon 
 is used to clear the information in a specific field 
		on the General tab. For example, click the Clear icon 
 drop-down menu 
		 and select Department to delete the department attached to 
		the employee record. 
                        - The Salary icon 
 is used to calculate the fields in the Revisions 
		section. For example, if an employee is salaried, enter the hours 
		per year and salary amount and then click the Salary icon 
 to populate 
		the Hourly Wage field with the calculated hourly rate. The hourly 
		rate and salary amounts will be rounded based on the settings in the 
		Setup window in the HR module (HR> Utilities> Setup). 
                        
                    
                    - The Settings section is used to attach a default pay code and a pay 
			schedule, and the Revisions section is used to add a pay settings revision 
	to the employee record. Click here 
	for information on how pay settings will be applied in a Computer Checks 
	batch.
 
                    - Enter a default pay code or click the Pay Code field label to select one from a 
		list.
 
                    
                        - When timecards are entered in the Computer Checks process (PR> Computer Checks> Enter Timecards), 
			there is a Salary icon 
 on the Timecard Maintenance window. The 
			Salary icon 
 is used to automatically create timecard line items so 
			that the number of hours on the timecard matches the pay settings on 
			the employee record. For example, if timecard has line items that 
			total 80 hours, but the pay setting on the employee record has 
			86.66, clicking the Salary icon 
 will create a timecard line item for 
			6.66 hours using the pay code entered in the Pay Code field. 
                        - Click here for more information on the Salary icon on the Timecards 
			Maintenance window.
                        
 
                        - The default pay code also effects how timesheets are imported 
			(PR> Computer Checks> Import Timesheets). If the Salary 
			Adjustment toggle is checked on the Import Timesheets window 
			(PR> Computer Checks> Import Timesheets), the system will 
			automatically generate timesheet line items so that the total hours 
			on the timesheet equals the number of hours on the employee record. 
			This is the same as clicking the Salary icon 
 on the Timecard 
			Maintenance window, but this will affect all of the timesheets 
			imported into the Computer Checks batch. 
                        - Click here for information on importing timesheets into a Computer 
			Checks batch.
                        
 
                        - Pay codes are created and maintained using the Pay Code 
			Maintenance window (PR> Maintenance> Pay Codes).
			Click here for information on 
			pay code maintenance.
 
                    
                    - The Full Time Hours field is used to store the number of full time hours during the pay 
		period. For example, if an employee is paid weekly the value in the Full Time 
		Hours field may be 40.
 
                    - The Pay Schedule field is used to set the pay schedule of the employee. Enter a pay 
		schedule code or click the Pay Schedule field to select a pay schedule 
		from a list.
 
                    
                        - Pay schedules are used to create and maintain pay periods. When a Computer Checks batch is run 
			(PR> Computer Checks> Generate> Schedules section), you will generate the 
			payroll checks by pay schedule. All of the employees attached to the pay 
			schedule will be included in the Computer Checks batch.
 
                        - When you select the pay schedule on the Computer Checks batch, you will also select a pay period 
			that is attached to the pay schedule. For example, if you have a pay schedule 
			set up for salary employees that are paid monthly, each monthly pay period will 
			display as a separate line item on the pay schedule. When you select the pay 
			period you would like to generate payroll on, the period begin and end date, 
			check date, days in period, hours in period, and other information will populate 
			on the Computer Checks batch from the pay period. You will only be able to 
			select pay periods that have not been locked.
 
                        - Pay schedules are created and maintained using the Pay Schedule Maintenance window (PR> 
			Maintenance> Pay Schedule).
 
                    
                    - The Workers' Compensation field is used to set the default 
		workers' compensation code of the employee. A specific workers' compensation code 
		can be set up on each line item of the default time card on the Timecards tab.
 
                    
                        - If the Use Default Work Comp Code for Salaried Employees toggle is checked on the Setup 
			window (PR> Utilities> Setup> General tab), the workers’ compensation 
			calculation will be based on the default workers' compensation code entered in 
			this field rather than the workers' compensation code or rate code attached to 
			the employee timecard. This option can create workers’ compensation premiums 
			that are unacceptable or inappropriate for state reporting.
 
                        - The workers' compensation codes are created and maintained using the 
			Workers' Compensation Maintenance window (PR> Maintenance> Workers' Comp).
 
                    
                    - The Task Code field is used to attach a default Project Management module task code to the employee record.
 
                    
                        - Task codes are set up on the Task Maintenance window (PM> Maintenance> Task).
 
                        - The Task Code field will only be enabled if the Project 
			Management module is set up to interface with the Payroll module (PR> 
			Utilities> Setup> General tab> Enable Project Management Interface toggle).
 
                    
                    - The Salary Level field is a user-defined reference field. The value in this field 
		does not affect any payroll calculations.
 
                    - The Last COLA field will display the date the last time the employee was processed in a Human 
		Resources module COLA batch. The COLA process is used to implement a cost of 
		living hourly wage/ salary increase to the employees that belong to a specific 
		grade and step.
 
                    
                        - The value in this field will display on the Employee COLA Proof List in the COLA process.
 
                    
                    - Check the Prorate Accruals toggle to prorate the accruals on 
	timecards based on the full time hours on the employee record. For example, 
	if an employee generally works 80 hours per pay period and accrues 2 hours 
	of sick time each pay period, if the employee works 40 hours during a pay 
	period, they will only accrue 1 hour of sick time.
 
                    
                        - The system will use the Hours Per Year and the Pay Periods Per Year fields to determine 
			what the full time hours are to be used in the calculation for prorating accruals. The formula used is: 
			Hours Per Year / Pay Periods Per year = Full Time hours
 
                        - The accruals will be prorated by the employees’ time card hours in proportion to the Full Time hours amount.
 
                    
                    - The Revisions section is used to enter the hourly rate/salary 
	information on the employee, and attach a grade/step. This information can be added to the employee as a 
		new revision, or you can modify an existing revision.
 
                    
                        - Creating a revision each time the financial information on the employee record is modified 
			allows you to maintain a record of changes. Revisions also allow you to set an 
			effective date of the changes. For example, if the hourly rate of an employee 
			should increase after the current pay period, you can create a new revision with 
			the higher hourly rate and set the effective date to after the current pay 
			period. The new revision will take effect after the effective date.
 
                    
                    - The Revision field will populate with the revision number. You cannot modify the value in 
		this field. The revision number will be assigned as new revisions are created. Click here for information on how 
	revisions will be applied to Computer Checks.
 
                    
                        - The pay settings will prorate on a payroll check if the effective date of a pay settings 
			revision occurs during a pay period. For example, if an employee moved into a 
			new position halfway through a pay period, the new pay settings will become 
			active the day the employee moves into the new position.
 
                        - When you create a new pay revision, you should also create a new 
		default time card on the Timecards tab. Default time cards are set up by 
		pay setting revision, so each time you create a new pay setting 
		revision, you should also create a new default time card.
 
                    
                    - The Effective Date field is used to set the date the revision will take effect. This field 
		will default to the current date when you create a new revision.
 
                    - The Grade and Step fields are used to attach a grade and step to the employee record. 
		The hourly wage or salary amount attached to the grade or step will 
	populate on the employee record when a step is selected. If you do not use the Human Resources module, you will not add a Grade 
		and Step value.
 
                    
                        - Click the Step field to select a step amount from a list (click the Expand button next to a grade and select 
			a step amount). The Grade field will populate with the grade attached 
			to the selected step.
		Only step amounts with a revision date that is less than or equal to the 
		effective date on the pay revision will display in the window used to 
		select the step. This means you can select a grade in the Grade 
		field, but when you open the Step field the desired step may not 
		appear. Increase the value in the Effective Date field on the 
		employee record or decrease the effective date on the step amount using 
		the Grade Maintenance window (HR> Maintenance> Grade/Step> 		Effective Date field)  if you would like it to display.
 
                        
                            - For example, if you have a pay setting with an effective date of 
			01/01/2008, you cannot attach a step revision with an effective date 
			of 01/01/2012. You will have to create a new pay settings revision 
			with an effective date that is either equal to or greater than the 
			effective date on the new grade/step revision.
 
                        
                        - Grades and steps are used to categorize and control the hourly wages or annual salaries of 
			employees. For example, you can create a grade titled Police Officer and set up 
			the various Police Officer salaries as step amounts (step 1 - $45,000 to 
			$55,000, step 2 - $56,750, $68,000, etc.). When you hire a new police officer, 
			attach the Police Officer grade and a step value to the employee. The salary 
			level of the new employee will be restricted to the salary range set up on the 
			step amount on the grade. When you would like to implement a cost of living 
			increase on police officer salaries, run the COLA process (HR> COLA). This will 
			increase the step amounts attached to the Police Officer grade by a user-defined 
			percentage, and increase the employee salaries attached to that grade.
 
                        - Grades are created and maintained using the Grade Maintenance window (HR> Maintenance> 
			Grade).
 
                        - Steps are created and maintained using the Step Maintenance window (HR> Maintenance> Step).
 
                    
                    - The Periods Per Year field is used to set the number of pay 
	periods in a year. This field will populate based on the pay schedule 
	selected in the Pay Schedule field.
 
                    
                    - The Hours Per Year field is used to enter the number in a year. For example, enter 2080 if 
		there are 2080 work hours in the year.
 
                    - The Hourly Rate field is used to set the hourly rate of the employee. If the 
		employee is salaried, leave this field blank and click the Salary icon 
 
	to calculate the hourly rate based on the Salary 
		and Hours Per Year field (yearly salary/hours per year). 
                    
                        - If you attached an hourly grade and step in the Grade and Step field, the hourly rate will populate based on the selected step 
		amount.
 
                        - The value in this field will be rounded based on the selection in 
		the Human Resources module Setup window (HR> Utilities> Setup> Round Hourly Rates 
		field).
 
                    
                    - The Salary Per Period field is used to enter the salary per pay period of the employee. Leave this 
		field blank if the employee is an hourly employee and click the Salary 
	icon 
 at the top of the window to calculate the salary based on the hourly 
	rate and hours per pay period. 
                    
                        - The value in the Salary Per Period field will be rounded based on the selection 
		in the Human Resources module Setup window (HR> Utilities> Setup> Round Salaries 
		field).
 
                    
                
             
         
         
        4     The Timecards tab is used to add default time card line items to the 
	employee record.  
            
                 
                
                    - Default time card line items are used to create payroll checks 
	in the Computer Checks process. Click 
here for information on how the default time card revisions will be applied to 
Computer Checks.
 
                    - Time card revisions apply differently based on how time cards are generated in the 
		Computer Checks process.
 
                    
                        - If paychecks are generated based on default time cards, the time card with an effective date that 
			is less than the period end date will be used to generate the paychecks.
 
                        - If you are manually entering time card line items into a Computer 
		Checks batch, the time card date on the batch (PR> 
			Computer Checks> Generate) will be used to determine which default time card 
			will be used.
 
                    
                    - Select a default time card revision and then add time card line items to the revision in the 
		Timecards section. When you add a line item to the Timecards section, use the 
		Details section to enter the information on each line item.
 
                    - The Revision drop-down menu is used to select which pay setting 
	you would like the default time card line items to apply to. Default time 
	cards are associated with pay revisions created on the Financial tab of the 
	Employee Maintenance window. Each time a new pay revision is created, you 
	will have to create a new default time card to reflect the new pay settings. 
	Select the pay setting revision you would like to generate the default time 
	card for in the Revision drop-down menu.
 
                    - The Effective Date 
	field will display the effective date of the pay setting revision selected 
	in the Revision drop-down menu.
 
                    - After you have selected the default time card, the Timecards section will populate with the 
		time card line items attached to the selected revision. Highlight a time card 
		line item and the fields in the Details section will populate with the 
		information attached to the selected time card line item.
 
                    - Press INSERT or click the Create icon 
 to add a time card line item. This will add a line item to 
		the Timecards section and enable the fields in the Details section. 
                    - The Pay Code field is used to attach a pay code to the time card line item.
 
                    
                        - The pay code attached to the line item will determine the gross pay affected by the time card 
			line item. For example, if the Federal, State, and FICA toggles are checked on 
			the Pay Code Maintenance window (PR> Maintenance> Pay Code) of 
			the selected pay code, the gross federal, gross state, and gross FICA wages will 
			be increased by the time card line item.
 
                    
                    - The Sequence field is used to reorder the pay codes in the Timecards grid above. Change the sequence number to move the timecard line items up or down.
- The order of the pay codes will determine which pay codes are applied to regular hours and which pay codes are applied to overtime hours.
- For example, if an employee worked four hours on pay code A (sequence 1), six hours on pay code B (sequence 2) and one hour on pay code C (sequence 3), all four hours of pay code A would apply to regular pay, four hours of pay code B would apply to regular pay, two hours of pay code B would apply to overtime pay and one hour of pay code C would apply to overtime pay.
 
 - Each pay code must have a unique sequence number.
 
 
                    - The Rate Code field is used to attach a rate code to the time card line item. This 
		field is not required. Enter a rate code or click the Rate Code 
		field label to select a rate code from a list.
 
                    
                        - Rate codes allow you to assign different hourly rates to employees depending on the work they are 
			performing. This allows you to set standard pay amounts for pay that is not 
			related to the hourly pay rate attached to each employee record. The hourly 
			rate attached to the rate code will override the hourly rate on the employee 
			record. For example, if the hourly rate on the employee record is $15.75 and the 
			hourly rate on the rate code is $18.00, the hourly rate of $18.00 will be used 
			on the time card line item.
 
                        - If there is a rate multiplier attached to the pay code selected in the 
			Pay Code 
			field (PR> Maintenance> Pay Code> Rate Multiplier 
			field), the hourly rate on the rate code will be multiplied by the rate 
			multiplier on the pay code. For example, if you have a pay code for overtime pay 
			that has a rate multiplier of 1.50 and the hourly rate on the rate code is 
			$18.00, the rate multiplier on the pay code will be applied and the employee 
			will be paid $27.00 (18*1.5=$27.00) a hour on the time card line item. 
		This applies even if the employee is attached to the rate code with a 
		specific hourly amount. The hourly rate on the rate code set up 
		specifically for the employee will be applied to the rate multiplier on 
		the pay code. For example, if the employee is attached to the rate code 
		with an hourly rate of $10.00, the rate code will be applied and the 
		time card line item rate will be $15.00 (10*1.5=$15.00).
 
                        - Rate codes are created and maintained using the Rate Code Maintenance window (PR> Maintenance> 
			Rate Code).
 
                    
                    - The Shift Code field is used to attach  shift codes 
		to the time card line item. Enter a shift code or click the Shift Code field label to select one from a list.
 
                    
                        - Shift codes can act as a multiplier on a pay code. For example, if the graveyard shift makes an 
			extra $.50 an hour, you can create a shift code to add the $.50 an hour to the 
			regular pay code. You can then attach the shift code to the time card line item.
 
                        - Shift Codes are created and maintained using the Shift Code Maintenance window (PR> Maintenance> 
			Shift). 
 
                    
                    - The Hours field is used to enter the number of hours on the time card line item. For 
		example, if the employee is paid bi-weekly, you may enter 80 in this field.
 
                    - The Hourly Rate field will populate based on the selections in the previous fields, 
		but the value in this field can be modified if it does not apply.
 
                    
                        - The Hourly Rate field will start as the hourly rate attached to the employee record 
			on the Financial tab (PR> Maintenance> Employee> Financial 
			tab> Hourly Rate field). If there are multiple pay revisions on the 
			employee record, the revision with the most recent effective date that is equal 
			to or less than the current date will be applied.
 
                        - If there is a rate multiplier on the pay code (PR> Maintenance> Pay Code> Rate Multiplier field), the hourly rate on the employee record will 
			be multiplied by the rate multiplier. For example, if the hourly rate of the 
			employee is $15 an hour and the rate multiplier is 1.5, the hourly rate will be 
			$22.50 (15*1.5=22.50).
 
                        - If there is a rate code attached to the time card line item, the hourly rate attached to the 
			rate code will override the hourly rate on the employee record. If there is a 
			rate multiplier on the pay code, the hourly rate on the rate code will be 
			multiplied by the rate multiplier.
 
                        - If there is a shift code attached to the time card line item, the premium will be added to the 
			hourly rate and will display as a separate line item on the check.
 
                    
                    - The Base Amount field is the total amount of the time card line item and is calculated based on 
		the entries in the previous fields.
 
                    - The Account field is used to attach a GL account to the time card line item. You can enter 
	a value in this field or leave it blank. If you leave the field blank, the 
	debit account used in the journal entry to record the payroll will be pulled 
	from the employee distribution set up on the Distribution tab of the Employee 
	Maintenance window.
- If you enter a GL account in this field, the GL account will be the expense account debited for the time 
			card line item amount. For example, if the time card line item totals $450.00, 
			the GL account in this field will be debited $450.00. You can view the journal 
			entry created by a time card line item using the GL Distribution Report when you 
			are generating payroll checks (PR> Computer Checks> GL Distribution).
 - If the GL account attached to the default time card line item is project driven, the default time 
				card line item must also have a Project Management module task and type code 
				selected in the PM Task Code and PM Type Code fields.
 - General ledger accounts are set up as project driven by checking the 
				Account is Project 
				Driven toggle on the Chart of Accounts Maintenance window (GL> Maintenance> 
				Chart of Accounts> General tab).
 
- The selection in the Deduction and benefits follow task toggle 
		on the Setup window (PR> Utilities> Setup> Deductions tab) affects 
		the journal entry created by the Computer Checks process when a time 
	card line item is attached to a Project Management module task code.
 - When a Project Management module task code is attached to a time 
		card line item, the GL account on the time card line 
		item will override the debit GL account on the benefit and will be used on the journal entry to record 
		the benefit. The debit GL account on the time card line item will also be used to 
		record the deduction.
 - If  the Deduction and benefits follow task toggle is not 
		checked and there is a GL account attached to the time card line item, the debit account attached to 
		benefits will be pulled from the benefit 
		record (PR> Maintenance> Deduction/Benefit> Open the benefit> Accounts 
		tab> Debit Account field). The debit account to record the 
		deductions will still be pulled from the GL account attached to the time 
		card line item.
 
 
                    - The Workers' Compensation code is used to enter the workers' compensation code on the 
		time card line item. This field will default to the workers' compensation code 
		entered on the employee record (Financial tab> Workers' Compensation Code 
		field).
 
                    
                        - If the Use Default Work Comp Code for Salaried Employees toggle is checked on the Setup 
			window (PR> Utilities> Setup> General tab), the workers’ compensation 
			calculation will be based on the default workers' compensation code attached to 
			the employee record (Financial tab) rather than the workers' compensation code or 
			rate code attached to the employee timecard. This option can create workers’ 
			compensation premiums that are unacceptable or inappropriate for state 
			reporting.
 
                    
                    - The Task Code and Type Code fields are used to add Project Management module information to the timecard line item. For example, if the time on the timecard line item was spent working on a PM module task, attach a PM module task and type code to the line item. These fields will only be enabled if the Payroll module is set up to interface with the Project Management module (PR> Utilities> Setup> General tab> Enable Project Management interface toggle).
 
                    - Check the time card cycles that apply to the default time card line item.
 
                    
                        - Time card cycles allow you to add multiple default time card 
			line items to the employee record, but apply only certain line items 
			to a Computer Checks batch when payroll is generated.
			Click here for information on 
			time card cycles.
 
                        - You can add the time card line item to as many time card cycles 
			as you would like. For example, you can check all of the Cycle 
			toggles if the default time card line item should apply to all pay 
			schedules.
 
                        - Deductions and benefits are attached to employee records using 
			deduction/benefit cycles, which are not the same as time card 
			cycles. Deduction/benefit cycles are set up separately on the Pay 
			Schedule Maintenance window (PR> Maintenance> Pay Schedule> Deduction Cycle column).
			Click here for 
			information on deduction cycles.
 
                    
                
             
         
         
        5     The Web Timesheets tab is used to associate web timesheets with the employee.  
            
                 
                
                    - Web timesheets are used by employees to enter hours worked through the Employee Self Service (ESS) online application.
- This tab will only be enabled if the ESS online application is installed in your Springbrook database.
 
 
                    - Click the Create icon 
 to add a web timesheet to the employee. This will open the Web Timesheets Maintenance window.- The Web Timesheets Maintenance window can also be accessed from the PR maintenance palette (PR> Maintenance> Web Timesheet).
 
 
                    - Click here for information on Web Timesheet Maintenance.
                    
 
                
             
         
         
        6     The Taxes tab is used to modify the tax information attached to an employee record.  
            
                 
                
                    - When you attach a tax status to an employee record, you should also 
	attach that deduction to the employee record. For example, if you enter S in 
	the Federal Status field to set up an employee as single on federal 
	taxes, you should also attach the federal tax deduction (FED) to the 
	Deductions tab of the employee record so that federal taxes are deducted 
	from the employee's paycheck. Click here for an 
	overview on taxes.
 
                    - The EIC Status field is used to track the marriage status of an employee for the 
		Earned Income Credit.
 
                    - The Federal Status field is used to select the federal tax status of the employee. Click the   
		Federal Status field label to select a federal status from a list. 
		This will open the Federal Status Selection window. The Federal Status 
		Selection window will display all of the tax line items associated with the 
		FED tax code.
 
                    
                        - If there is a FED deduction attached to the employee record on the 
		Deductions tab, you must select a status in the Federal Status field for the federal withholdings to calculate correctly. The federal 
		status determines which line item on the tax table should be used to 
		calculate the federal withholdings.
 
                    
                    - The Federal Dependents field is used to enter the number of dependents for federal taxes.
 
                    
                        - If the Multiply standard deduction toggle is checked on the 
			tab table record that matches the federal status of the employee, the 
			value in this field will be multiplied by the standard deduction. For 
			example, if the employee is married and the Multiply standard 
			deduction toggle is checked on the tax table record for federal 
			taxes with a married status, the number of dependents will be multiplied 
			by the standard deduction when calculating the federal tax deduction on 
			the employee's paycheck.
 
                        - If the Multiply standard deduction toggle is not checked on 
			the tax table record that applies to the employee record, the value in 
			this field will have no effect on the federal tax deducted from the 
			employee's paycheck.
 
                    
                    - The Federal Extra $ field is used to add an extra federal withholding amount.
 
                    - The State Status field is used to select the state tax status of the employee. Click the
		State Status field label to select a status from a list. This will open the 
		State Status Selection window. The State Status Selection window will 
		display all of the tax line items associated with the STATE tax code.
 
                    
                        - If there is a STATE deduction attached to the employee record on the 
		Deductions tab, you must select a status in the State Status field for the state withholdings to calculate correctly. The state 
		status determines which line item on the tax table should be used to 
		calculate the federal withholdings.
 
                    
                    - The State Dependents field is used to enter the number of 
		dependents for state taxes.
 
                    - The State Extra $ field is used to add an extra state withholding amount.
 
                    - The State Additional Allowances field is used to add additional allowances to the employee record.
 
                    - The Regional Status field is used to select the regional tax status of the employee. Click the
		Regional Status field label to select a status from a list. This will open the 
		Regional Status Selection window. The Regional Status Selection window will 
		display all of the tax line items associated with the REGION tax code.
 
                    - The Regional Dependents field is used to enter the number of 
		dependents for region taxes.
 
                    - The Extra Regional $ field is used to add an extra region withholding amount.
 
                    - The Regional Additional Allowances field is used to add additional allowances to the employee record.
 
                    - The Other Status field is used to select the other tax status of the employee. Click the
		Other Status field label to select a status from a list. This will open the 
		Other Status Selection window. The Other Status Selection window will 
		display all of the tax line items associated with the OTHER tax code.
 
                    - The Other Dependents field is used to enter the number of 
		dependents for other taxes.
 
                    - The Extra Other $ field is used to add an extra other withholding amount.
 
                    - The Other Additional Allowances field is used to add additional allowances to the employee record.
 
                
             
         
         
        7     The Retirement tab is used to configure the retirement options attached to an employee.  
            
                 
                
                    - Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) is the general title for all state sponsored retirement programs.
 
                    - The codes, reporting groups, types and plan codes are state specific and user defined.
 
                    - While these fields are not mandatory, it is important to complete the necessary fields for your state to ensure accurate reporting.
 
                
             
         
         
        8     The Deductions tab is used to edit and display all of the deduction codes attached to an employee.  
            
                 
                
                    -  Benefits 
	are attached to the employee record using the Benefits tab.
 
                    - Highlight a deduction in the upper section of the window and the Details section will 
		populate with the information attached to the selected deduction.
 
                    - Highlight a deduction and press DELETE or click the Delete icon
