Payroll Question

I forgot the step about adding the appropriate labor expense code to the
employee master. This gives you the default expense code for a given
employee. This code will be overridden by any labor expense codes put on a
job. We use this functionality to send the labor dollars for a normally
indirect employee to a direct g/l account when he is working directly on a
job rather than in his normal indirect capacity. Seems like I remember
other cases where the labor expense code on an employee file can be
overridden, but it has been too long since we set this up for me to remember
now.

You can accomplish this with different labor expense codes under a given pay
type. Each expense code under a given pay type can have it's own G/L
account. For example, under a pay type for overtime, you could add direct,
G&A, & sales labor expense codes. Then update each of those codes to have
their own G/L account.

This might be an obvious question but I have been racking my brain for a
couple weeks now and I don't know how to fix it. For the last two payrolls
(biweekly), Vantage hasn't been including the first two days of the pay
period when the data is coming from Data Collection. I check the labor entry
to make sure that the payroll checkbox is marked. Is there something I am
missing in the config or anywhere else? Any help would be appreciated!

We recently changed the way that our health (and other) insurance is handled
and I'm not sure that we have setup Vantage payroll to work properly.

The situation we have is that our employees pick from a number of different
insurance policies, including health, dental, vision and life. The company
pays a set number of dollars to the employee for insurance in general.
Their cost for the selections they have made may be higher or lower than the
amount that the company pays. All of this is non-taxable except that the
employee should be taxed for the full amount of the life insurance premium.

We created a Pay Type for the company's contribution, but the only way that
we can figure out to get the correct amount added to each check is to
manually add a fixed dollar amount to each employee's check which requires a
bunch of extra work. It would seem to me that there should be an easier
way.

We looked at creating a Deduction type with the appropriate taxing setup but
making it a negative amount. This allows us to set the amount one time in
the Employee master record but I'm concerned that Vantage won't handle this
the way we intend.

Any ideas about how to solve this? Does anyone else face this same
situation? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know if there is a way to apply the overtime premium to
different G/L accounts bases on groups? We are a cooperative and we
have owners and employees and the payroll is split into to groups
accordingly but we recently decided to pay the owners overtime where
in the past we haven't, but I would like to keep track of the costs
in the ledger separately but can't seem to find a way to pay the
employees with one account and the owner with another, without making
a journal entry of course! we are on version 5.0 if anyone has any
ideas I would appreciate it but I am thinking that it cannot be done.

Jackie, have you looked at pay types? I think
that may do what you are asking.

Set up a new pay type and call it something like OT-2, description:
Overtime-Owner, or something distinctive from your regular overtime. Have it
post to the GL account of your choice.
