US Payroll - Payroll Control
Overview
The Payroll Control screen is used to store default company information required for processing a payroll. The control file maintains such information as the default pay rate types, GL accounts, and workers’ compensation and public liability rules.
General – Tab
Pgm: PYCOMPRO – Payroll Control; standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Setup > Company > Control – General tab
Company information can be entered in the General tab, such as default location (which impacts tax calculations), company default hours, and days of work per year.
FEIN
Enter/select the FEIN associated with the company.
This number is crucial if minimums and maximums have been assigned to the benefits, deductions, taxes, or expenses. As processing occurs, the system looks to verify whether minimum and maximums need to be applied.
NOTE: More than one company setup can be associated with the same Federal Employer's Identification Number (FEIN).
Country, State/Prov, County/Region, City
Enter/select the country, state, county, and city codes for the company.
Work Days/Year, Work Hours/Year
Enter the default number of work days and work hours per year for the company.
The system enters 260 days and 2080 hours to these fields by default, based on a five day, 40 hour work week. These fields are used for calculating the daily wage of a salaried employee.
Job Summary By
Select how to organize the timesheet entry data to the Job Costing module. The system provides the following options:
-
Job/Cost Code/Category: Interfaces one line per job/cost code/category per pay run to the Job Costing module. Inter-branch charges are applied if possible. This option must be used in order to use the Labor Detail Report screen (standard Treeview path: Job Billing > Reports > Labor Detail Report).
-
Job by Employee: Interfaces one line per job/cost code/category per employee per pay run.
-
Job by Date: Interfaces one line per job/cost code/category per date per pay run.
-
Employee by Date: Interfaces one record per job/cost code/category per day per employee per pay run.
-
Timesheet: Interfaces one record for each timesheet type entered on a timesheet line.
-
Job/Cost Code/Category Without Inter-branching: Interfaces one line per job/cost code/category per pay run with no inter-branch charges.
Default Journal, Default ADJ Journal
Enter/select the default journal codes to be used for the posting of General Ledger transactions generated by the company and payroll timesheet adjustments.
These codes can be set up in the GL Journal Names screen (standard Treeview path: General Ledger > Global Tables > Journal Names).
Text Type
Enter/select the text type code to be used when assigning reasons for changes in the employment history.
Use Charge Rate Multiplier, Use Billing Rate Multiplier
Select whether to multiply the base rate by the charge or billing rate multipliers associated with the type of hours entered on the timesheet, including:
-
Normal Hours Only
-
All Hour Types
-
None: Select this option to use the straight charge out or bill rate regardless of the rate multiplier associated with the type of hours being charged.
Calculate Workers’ Compensation – Checkbox
Check this box to calculate workers’ compensation for the company.
Checking this option validates the entry of all workers’ compensation information and runs the required workers’ compensation processing.
Calculate Workers’ Comp by Job – Checkbox
Check this box if workers’ compensation rates are to be calculated based on the job detail entered in timesheet entry.
If this box is checked, workers’ compensation codes must be set up for all jobs or for each job individually in the Job screen in the Workers’ compensation sub-menu (standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Administration > Workers’ Compensation > Job). If checked, then this setting takes precedence over the workers’ compensation from job settings at the employee level on the Employee Profile and the workers’ compensation code on the job defaults on the timesheet.
Leave this box blank to apply the workers’ compensation settings on the Company tab of the Employee Profile screen.
Calculate Public Liability – Checkbox
Check this box to calculate public liability for the company.
If this box is checked the system validates the entry of all public liability information and runs the required public liability processing.
Public Liability by Job – Checkbox
Check this option if public liability rates are to be calculated based on the job detail entered in timesheet entry.
If this box is checked, the public liability codes must be set up for all jobs or for each job individually in the Job screen in the Public Liability sub-menu (standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Administration > Public Liability > Job). If this box is checked, then this setting takes precedence over the public liability from job settings at the employee level on the Employee Profile and the public liability code on the job defaults on the timesheet.
Leave this box blank to apply the public liability settings on the Company tab of the Employee Profile screen.
Post Transaction by Hour Type in Job Cost – Checkbox
Check this box if the operation is going to be using the Job Billing module, because each hour type should be a unique transaction when posting timesheets to the Job Costing module. This means that bill rates are unique by regular, overtime, and double overtime.
If this field is not checked all hour types are summed together and the bill rate is a merged rate.
Post Transaction by Shift Type in Job Cost – Checkbox
Check this box if the operation is going to be using Job Billing because when posting timesheets to job cost, each shift type should be a unique transaction. This means that bill rates are unique by day, evening, and night.
Posted Based on Daily Timesheet – Checkbox
NOTE: This checkbox is only enabled via Lite Editor and when the Job Summary By field is set to "Job by Employee", "Employee by Date" or "Timesheet".
This checkbox can be enabled when the user needs to be able to charge calculated burdens back to the job daily. That is, each day that the timesheet gets posted to the job, the proportionate amount of burden for that day needs to be charged to the job for that day. The daily cost report can be added from the Treeview Builder using the target name of “JC - JCDetail Daily Cost Report”.
This can be used in case of a pay period that crosses months. For example, the user can select the timesheet for September and October and post them separately. This will allow Payroll posting to post the timesheet based on the daily timesheet entries instead of posting the entire payroll to one posting date.
Payroll processing and mid year pay history will stay the same.
The final posting will add values into a new table where the burden splits into days.
Calculate Overhead – Checkbox
Check this box if using the Overhead Codes sub-menu (standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Setup > Jobs > Overhead Codes). If checked, then the Calculate Overhead field in the Timesheet Posting screen will have “Yes” selected by default (standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Timesheet > Timesheet Posting).
Check this box to make the ‘Overhead Summary’ checkbox available.
Create Vendor From Employee – Checkbox
Check this box to enable the [Create BP/Vendor] button on the Employee Profile screen. The AP EFT Distribution Method field in the Direct Deposit tab is visible when this box is checked.
Overhead Summary – Checkbox
Check this box to print a summary of all overheads as part of timesheet processing.
Post Burdens By
Select the burden transaction type by which timesheet posting should be ordered. The options include:
-
Transaction Type: The system will summarize and post one line per transaction type for the burdens.
-
Transaction Type and Code: The system will summarize and post one line for each transaction code for the burdens.
-
None: The system will summarize and post one entry for the burdens.
NOTE: If the Post Burdens By field is set to "Transaction Type" and the 'Post Transaction by Hour Type in Job Cost' box is checked, the labor cost transaction lines will display individual lines for each transaction type, as opposed to single lines for base wage and burdens lump sum amount.
NOTE: This field is only enabled when the Job Summary By field is set to "Job by Employee", "Employee by Date" or "Timesheet".
Rate Codes – Tab
Pgm: PYCOMPRO – Payroll Control; standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Setup > Company > Control – Rate Codes tab
The rate codes entered here determine the default codes used for each of the four types of standard hours. These values are used to identify hour types in various timesheet screens. The Other Hours field is also used when recording leave time.
Normal Hours, Overtime Hours, Double Overtime Hours, Other Hours
Enter/select the default codes for normal, overtime, double overtime, and other hours.
NOTE: Available rate codes can be created in the Rate Code Maintenance screen (standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Setup > Local Tables > Rate Codes).
Accounts – Tab
Pgm: PYCOMPRO – Payroll Control; standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Setup > Company > Control – Accounts tab
Use this screen to set the default accounts for each labor-related transaction that can be posted. It can be declared which accounts are used for debit wages, debit clearing, credit clearing, advanced holding accounts for expenses, leave expense accrual accounts, and leave liability.
Available account codes can be created in the Maintain Accounts screen (standard Treeview path: General Ledger > Setup > Maintain Accounts).
Enable after posting routine to move GL dates to Pay date – Checkbox
If this box is checked the Cash Department, Cash Account, and Salary Payable Account fields become available. Checking the box and filling these fields will supplement the cash account and department entered in the company General Ledger with the department and account entered in the fields below this box. On the payment date money is moved to the account entered in the Salary Payable Account field.
In other words, on the posting date this routine debits the cash account and credits the salary payable account.
Direct Deposit – Tab
Pgm: PYCOMPRO – Payroll Control; standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Setup > Company > Control – Direct Deposit tab
This screen is used to enter the direct deposit information provided by the company’s bank. If no direct deposit payments are planned, then these fields can be left blank.

If checked, timesheet data may be entered for employees prior to their hire date, after a layoff/termination, or after their death.
Allow Calculated Salary Charge Rate – Checkbox
If this is checked the system allows for the re-allocation of charge rates to job cost according to the actual hours worked instead of the standard hourly rate.
For example, a salaried employee gets paid $400 per week for a 40 hour week at a rate of $10 per hour. However, when the timesheets were entered for this employee 42 hours were charged to a job. This means that the job was charged $420 while the employee only made $400.
By checking this box, the system pro-rates the salary charges to the job and re-allocate the job at $9.52 per hour.
