Fund Accounting & Payroll
|
1. Fund Accounting has added a new field to the customer/vendor screen called "abbr name" This can be used if you want to put an abbreviated name in for the vendor. This field can then be printed on a report in the transaction category if you want to create a report to be sent to the newspaper for monthly disbursements to be published.
2. PAYROLL: The employee portion of FICA for 2011 has been changed from 6.2% to 4.2% (employer portion stays at 6.2%). If you have not updated to payroll version 6.082, you must do it now, and make necessary adjustments to the FICA deductions. There is also a new 941 form that just came out. Please make sure to download the new payroll if your payroll release date is older than March 2011, before running the 941 Quarterly Report for 2011. 3. We also have a new feature in payroll that can automatically accrue comp time entered on the time card. For example in the set up you can say accrue comp entered at time and a half. So you enter 3 hours of comp time on the time card in the accrued and it will calculate to time and a half so you do not have to figure it out manually. Call us to help you set this up if interested. |
