941Deposit PostingIt’s All About the Numbers
1 Make sure that you have a specific G/L Journal to post your weekly or bi-weekly 941 amounts. (G/L > Maintenance > Journals)
Set up defaults in the Federal Tax Table area (P/R > Maintenance > Federal Tax > “General” tab)
After payroll is complete and posted, run the 941 Report from the check date to the check date. The amounts contained here are what you should be calling in/entering online.
Click on the Post icon. Choose the date for which you are recording the payment to the government.
You have option to print the G/L summary to prove what has been posted
This does not get sent the government automatically. You must still call in/enter info online. Consider setting up the link in your Custom area!

Importing TimecardsDoing the Work Twice is Double the Work!
1 Preferable to have a specific timecard designed for importing. By job, by employee, or one big import.
GIGO principle – Garbage in; garbage out
Information can come from multiple sources, but ultimately must end up in a .csv format.
Know the location of your file(s).
PR > Daily > Enter timecards > Choose the Import design. Click on [Import] button
If files change, slight adjustments must be fine tuned.
Click through the wizard and you will have information as if you typed it all in manually.

Recurring Timecards
1 P/R Control File must allow for it.
Individual Employees Records must be set up to define who gets a recurring timecard.
Can be used for salary pay, non-monetary, and various recurring payments
Can be set up for hourly employees to only allow earnings if hours were worked in a week.
Must be told to generate and can be selectively used.
P/R > Daily > Generate Recurring
If someone does not generate, check settings on Employee Record or check the timecard list to see if they need hours entered to get the recurring.

Adjustment GenieThe ability to adjust can be a game changer!
1 Can be used to correct a single employee or a group of employees to create current adjustments that tweak current payroll.
Imperative to be used when reimbursing or adjusting any pretax deduction! It auto-corrects taxable amounts and FICA (if applicable).
Can be used to correct a single employee or a group of employees to create corrections for posted history.
Never post history adjustments in prior quarters!

Extra BurdenGood burden creates character. I’m sure a famous coach quoted that somewhere.
1 Extra burden is the cost you wish to calculate based on labor that is in addition to normal P/R burdens.
Can be calculated as a percent or an amount per hour. You can determine whether they should hit the general ledger and/or job costing.
Rates and G/Ls can be determined by sequences of your choosing.
You can have more than one extra burden amount.

Prevailing Wage ExplanationPrevailing wage is the concept of fair pay and benefit to employees for government-sponsored projects. Fair pay/benefits
usually comparable to union pay/benefits in the area. In FSI, we use the “union” maintenance areas at a surface level.
1 Gather info for prevailing wage requirements
Determine the trades you already use and determine if they are compatible
Set up the “Union” header for basic parameters.
PR > Maintenance > Unions > Union
Set up the base pay rates per trade (no fringes included).
PR > Maintenance > Unions > Pay Rates
Make sure you already have a “fringe” earn codes to pay the fringes to the employee.
PR > Maintenance > Earn Codes
Set up benefit types for cash and for any benefits that you already may pay to the employee.
Set up the union fringe for the trades.
PR > Maintenance > Unions > Deduction/Fringes

Hours Worked vs. Hours PaidThis example is using 40 hours of regular and 5 hours of overtime
HOURS WORKED Wages @ $25/hour
Fringes @ 5.25/hourWAGES
Reg = $1,000OT = $187.50
FRINGES
REG = $210.00OT = $26.25
HOURS PAID Wages @ $25/hour
Fringes @ 5.25/hourWAGES
Reg = $1,000OT = $187.50
FRINGES
REG = $210.00OT = $39.38

Reduction FactorDon’t “double up” on what you pay out
1 Fringes are usually paid out in cash so the employees can purchase medical coverage or invest in a pension plan
You are allowed by law to reduce the fringe by whatever you already are paying out to the employee
Determine what you pay per employee on an hourly basis. If you don’t know, figure out the yearly amount and divide by 2080.
Base pay remains the same but the fringe may end up being paid in different amounts (or not at all) for various employees.
The Certified Payroll Report will prove that you paid each person the correct base pay and can explain the reduction factors if you set up “benefit types”

Base Rate for one trade 45.00
Fringe 7.00 Reduction Factor (6.00)Fringe paid to employee 1.00Total PW rate $46.00

Benefit TypesStereotypical - Fringes with Benefits!
1 You typically pay “fringes” (benefits) to your employees. At the very least, you will have to pay out cash to the employees.
Benefit types summarize the fringes for certified payroll purposes.
We usually recommend, Pension, Training, Health, Other, Vacation, and Cash.
Set up in PR > Maintenance > Unions > Benefit Types.
“Cash” benefit type is added to the “PW Fringe” in the Deduction Fringe Master.
Not retroactive.
The other benefit types are set up for reporting the benefits you already pay out for your employees on an hourly basis. (Take yearly amount and divide by 2,080.) Set these up in the prevailing wage employees.
