Make sure your employees get paid on time and correctly with our easy-to-use payroll processing.

US Payroll Features

Timecards
Enter hours worked, jobs or departments worked in, accrual hours taken – sick time for example -- and tips that your employees report. You can also enter pay amounts -- expense reimbursements, savings plan payouts, and bonuses, for example. You can use Timecards to distribute pay factors to as many G/L accounts as you wish.

Flexible Setup for Income, Deductions, Noncash Benefits, Accruals, and Taxes
Make your software conform to your company's way of doing business instead of the other way around. Flexible setup options for employee pay factors such as salary, hourly wages, cash benefits, deductions, vacation and sick accruals and payouts, noncash benefits, savings plans, and taxes give you complete control over customizing Payroll according to your company's practices.

Automatic or After-the-Fact Processing
Process Payroll automatically and print paychecks from 21st Century Payroll or enter check information from another source.

Payroll Expense Tracking
Assign different general ledger accounts for every Payroll expense, if you wish, for close tracking of your costs of doing business.

Manual Earnings Distribution
Distribute employee earnings to up to 10 general ledger accounts of your choice every pay period by percent of hours worked, by number of hours worked, or by amount of gross earnings. If the company is configured to "departmentalize" pay factors, and an employee's factors are configured to post to the employee's departments, the system distributes nonearnings factors to departments in the same proportions as you distribute earnings.

Create Custom Pay Summary Reports
Design your own Payroll summary reports. You can print the custom reports or export the data for further review or manipulation in a spreadsheet. You determine the number, order, and content of the report columns. You can design as many different reports as you like in any Payroll company.

"Departmentalize" Payroll Expenses and Liabilities by G/L Account Segment
Take advantage of the option to "departmentalize" by G/L account segment if you want true cost center posting. The system automatically posts each employee's Payroll expenses and liabilities to accounts with segments that represent the employee's departments or cost centers.
