Locking periods after your GST Return is complete

Posted by Lynley on Dec 31 2008 with 2 Comments

It is essential to lock your periods once a GST period is completed. The reason for this is so you don’t continue to enter transactions into the period which is essentially ‘finished’.

  1. From the main menu, select [Setup] Preferences then Security tab
  2. Tick the option to Lock Periods: Disallow entries up to and including…
  3. From the drop-down list select the ending month of your just-completed GST period

Any adjustments or missed entries must now be made in the current (new) GST period.

How can I view previous pays & reprint payslips?

Posted by Lynley on Dec 27 2008 with 2 Comments

You can view employees pay history and reprint past payslips.  From Maintain Employees section, select the Pay History tab.

To reprint a previous payslip, double click on the payslip concerned. It will open.

At this point the payslip may be printed or emailed.

Are there some Quick Tips you can recommend?

Posted by Lynley on Dec 23 2008 with 0 Comments
  • Always remember to finalise a pay
  • You will find a PAYE Calculator in the ‘tools’ section of the menu. This is handy for checking actual PAYE amounts
  • When paying out sick leave, remember to enter the actual date the sick leave relates to
  • You can fix up incorrect pays in the next pay run.  Just enter a negative figure in the quantity field of enter pays. While you cannot reverse a finalised pay, you can manually enter pays which ‘reverse out’ a previous pay

    I have ex-employees showing in my payroll and I cannot delete them?

    Posted by Lynley on Dec 20 2008 with 1 Comments

    Normally employees should be finished using the Final Pay button in the Enter Pays screen which will pay out any leave balances. If this isn’t done the employee will continue to appear in the Payroll.

    You cannot delete ex-employees, but a ‘Finish Date’ can be entered. See the following procedure.

    Finishing an ”Ex-Employee”

    1. Go to Maintenance > Maintain Employee > Select Employee

    2. Within the employee’s “Leave Details > Annual Leave & Holiday Pay ” tab

    3. Ensure that the balances for Holiday Pay Due and Annual Leave have zero balances.

    NOTE: If they are not, they may need to be manually over-written to zero.

    4. Within the employee’s “Other Leave” tab.

    5. Ensure that the balance for Alternative Holidays has a zero balance.

    6. Within the employee’s “Employment Details” tab enter the employee’s “finish date”

    The employee will now be shown as an “Ex-Employee” and won’t in future show up when you process pays.#adp01
