PAYROLL |
 Within a manual accounting system, payroll
preparation is one of the most time-consuming and tedious
tasks. However, in-house payroll preparation can be a
snap when you use the MAS 90 Payroll module.At a fraction
of the cost and time of a manual payroll system or
outside service bureau, the Payroll module can apply
employee earnings and deductions, automatically calculate
employee and employer payroll taxes, and print checks and
vouchers complete with year-to-date earnings and tax
information. At the end of each quarter and year, the
respective payroll reports and W-2 forms required by
various tax authorities can be printed. All current
Federal and State tax tables are included with the
Payroll module, and city or local taxes can be easily
entered. Extensive information is maintained for each
employee, including birthdate, emergency contacts, review
dates and comments, marital and tax status, year-to-date
earning and deduction amounts, as well as vacation, sick
day, and other benefit accruals. One of the powerful
features of the MAS 90 Payroll module is its ability to
process earnings for more than one tax jurisdiction
(state or local) for each employee per pay period,
produce a single paycheck, and retain the information for
later disclosure on quarterly reports and W-2 statements.

prints W-2s in other popular formats. |

update of payroll postings to the General Ledger to be
based on the period when the work was actually performed.

expense and accruals can be posted on a percentage basis.
The calculated percentage is based upon the system date
and pay period end date and can be manually overwritten. |
