Calculate a Payroll - Performing Payroll Calculations in Cloud Payroll with eNETEmployer Online

Описание: This lesson will discuss how to perform a payroll calculation and finalize a Normal, or Regular payroll sequence with eNETEmployer. Normal pay runs are the default method and are typically the most common used pay type where each sequence follows a set schedule for the year (such as Bi-Weekly 26, Semi-Monthly 24, and so on).

To begin, choose the Payroll Processing - Calculations menu command and then select the New button to add a new pay sequence into the table. The row appears in Edit Mode with its cells ready for editing.

The Sequence cell increments by one, based on the previous pay sequence. The payroll sequence number is sequentially assigned and increments for every pay calculation regardless of the pay type. For example, if your payroll is set to semi-monthly, and you calculated only Normal pay types throughout the year (that is, no other special pay types), then the final sequence at year-end would be 24 (that is, 24 normal pays for the year). Each time you run a special pay type (such as an Additional, Extra, or Reversal pay), the Sequence Number cell will increment accordingly.

For the Pay Type cell, leave the default option as Normal.

Move to the Start Date, End Date and Pay Date cells and confirm that they are accurate, based on your pay period. The program automatically assigns the correct Start Date based on the previous pay period's End Date.

Similarly, the new sequence's End Date is automatically set to two weeks after the Start Date. The program's automatic incrementing of these dates is very useful and saves you the time of having to calculate the dates manually.

The only time you may need to modify one of these automated dates is if your Pay Date falls on a Statutory Holiday. This happens to be the case for our demo lesson and its Pay Date of December the 25th. So we will use this cell to adjust the Pay Date to December 24th, the day immediately preceding the holiday. Once the pay period is complete and closed, we would then enter a new pay sequence and reset the Pay Date cell accordingly so that the program will begin paying on Fridays once again.

When the settings are complete for your new pay sequence, choose the Save icon at the beginning of the row.

You can now proceed to the next step and enter your employee work hours. To do so, choose the Payroll Processing - Speedy Update menu command and then enter the hours in each employee's the Regular Hours cell.

Once you have entered the work hours, choose the Payroll Processing - Calculations command, and then select the Calculate button from the button bar.

Once the calculations are complete, choose the Generate Report button on the current pay period's row to create the Interim Payroll Register report. When you open the report, notice how the word "Interim" appears as a watermark in the background. This watermark will be removed once the payroll is closed.

Once you have verified your payroll results, choose the Backup button from the button bar. Payroll backups are a requirement before closing any payroll.

Once the backup is complete, close the payroll by choosing the Close button from the button bar.

This completes the payroll processing portion of the lesson. You can now create a variety of reports as needed to complete the pay cycle. To do so, open the Reports page by choosing the Payroll Processing - Reports menu command.

When the page opens, click on the drop down list that appears beside the New button. This list contains the various reports that you can create with the program. For example, to produce employee pay statements, choose the Pay Statements option to add a new report row.

Place a check in the Background box to include a background image for the pay statements that shows outlines and borders. Note: If you are using pre-printed company statement forms, you would remove the check from this cell since your forms will already include the statement borders.

Once the settings are complete, select the Generate Report button to create the report.

If you wish to e-mail the pay stubs to your employees, scroll to the right and place a check in the E-mail statements box and then choose the E-mail button to send the e-mail pay statements.

To send a statement to one or more employees individually, move to the Employees cell on the report row and then select their name only from the drop down list.

Continuing through the remaining report options, you can create other documents such as Journal Entries, Cheque Registers, ROE's, Worker's Compensation reports, and more.
