Payroll Overview

The software's payroll features are completely integrated with the General Ledger. The payroll system allows you to record payroll information per employee including payroll deductions and advances. Payroll deductions are tracked for both employee and employer contributions which allows for automated payroll remittances. The payroll system is tightly integrated to the bank account so that you may process and print pay checks and remittance checks. The payroll reporting provides the information required for year end income reporting.
