DNA's payroll module accepts time data that has been input to or captured by the labor distribution module. Additional payroll information may be input for either payment or deductions. These items may be specified to be paid on a second additional cheque if desired. For salaried staff, the period payroll amounts are carried on the employee master. The payroll system is driven by a schedule (allows for different pay cycles within a company) and a processing calendar that ties to the corporate fiscal calendar but is independent of it.

Companies that have employees that work in multiple provinces during a pay period track the earnings and taxes by province and tie to an employee master to avoid overpayment of CPP and EI contributions. Information from earnings in all provinces are accumulated for ROE and T4 purposes.

The payroll system supports tax calculations for all Canadian provinces. Direct deposit is supported and a cheque can be split to an unlimited number of bank accounts on either a percentage or a dollar basis.

Earnings and deduction codes are unlimited. Both earning and deductions may be based on other earnings or deductions previously calculated. Vacation earnings may be calculated automatically and accrued to a liability account.

The module provides for cheques to be issued between normal pay periods, accepts manually calculated cheque information, and automatically reverses the calculations if a cheque is cancelled.

All earning and deduction codes cross reference to the GL at one of the company, branch, department or employee level. Any earning or deduction code can be split on a percentage basis to any number of GL accounts at any of the above levels. Hours that have been banked may be posted to a separate liability account for financial tracking.

A full complement of inquires and reports allows access to the information within the module. If desired, interface to third party financial and job cost modules can be made.
