Employee Information - Job and Pay Tab

Access this tab using Maintain>Payroll>Employee Information.

Use this tab to specify job and pay-related information for an employee.

Enter pay information based on either a Salaried or Hourly basis. If a salary is entered for an employee, the system calculates an Equivalent Hourly Rate for use in calculations that require an Hourly Rate, such as wages, benefits, or deductions.

 

Processing Group: Enter the employee's processing group code. Note that if an employee changes processing groups, any existing Regular and Supplemental Timesheets for this employee must be deleted prior to making changes to the processing groups. If the employee has only a Default Timesheet, it is automatically updated to the new processing group.

Class: Enter the job class for the designated employee.

Position: Enter the employee's job title.

Occupation Code: Enter the employee's occupational code. This entry will be passed to the state tax filing forms.

Note: The Occupation Code can now be used in Aatrix eFiling applications that require the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes. Only the first six characters entered will be transmitted to Aatrix, and any additional characters will be truncated.

Employee Type: Enter an employee type, such as part-time or full-time.

Military Status: Enter a military status, such as active, retired, or none.

Driver's License

  • Number: Enter the employee's driver's license number.
  • State: Enter the state where the license was issued.
  • Expiration: Enter the date when the license expires.
  • Class: Enter a vehicle class, such as C or A.

Pay Rate Salaried Salary per Pay Cycle, Equivalent Hourly Rate for Calculations: Enter the salary per pay cycle and the equivalent hourly rate for calculations for a salaried employee.

Pay Rate Hourly Hourly Rate: Enter the hourly rate for an hourly employee. This rate is printed on the check stub.

Direct Deposit: Select this check box if the employee's pay is directly deposited into a bank account. (Enter the employee's direct deposit information on the Direct Deposit tab of this form if using the Direct Deposit module.)

In order to view the Direct Deposit check box, you must have been granted Sensitive Data rights for Maintain>Payroll>Employee Information. These rights are granted by the Administrator using Security>Set Up Organization Menus form.

  • You can designate classes and positions to employees, and use these designations for reporting purposes.
  • If you select the Direct Deposit check box and you are not using the Direct Deposit module, check information is written to an external file for the designated employee; a voucher is printed in place of a check. Print a report with check information using the Reports>Payroll>Processing>Voucher Register. Note this is not an ACH (Automated Clearing House) file, but it can be read by your bank's proprietary software to create an ACH file for transmission.
  • If you are using the Direct Deposit module, enter the employee's banking information on the Direct Deposit tab, and then create and send the direct deposit file to your financial institution using the Activities>Payroll>Create/Send Direct Deposit File form.
