Payroll Management

The Payroll allows for payroll accounting for every employee based on salary, benefits, and individual deductions. The Payroll is fully integrated with the accounting package. The rates in all Canadian provinces are covered. Employees' cumulative pay can be displayed on screen or printed on paper in report form at any time. Each pay period is detailed in terms of earnings, deductions at source, and employer contributions.

Reports, statements, lists of active and/or inactive employees, and monthly and annual salary lists can also be printed.

Group management
The use of groups makes it possible to set up general-ledger accounts for recording the pay of various groups of employees. Each group's pay is posted to a different account, which allows you to see the earnings of different employee categories.

Management of earnings and deductions
You can customize the way your salaries are handled through full control over earnings and deductions. Union dues, garnished wages, RRSPs, and group insurance can all be handled.

Employee record
There is a separate record for each employee that contains detailed information (name, address, position, salary, etc.). An alphanumeric employee number serves to organize the records for quick and easy access later. Every employee is also categorized as active or inactive, based on whether or not they are currently employed by your company.

Pay slip and/or cheque printing
The format editor allows you to print pay slips and/or cheques based on your printing criteria and choice of time for the pay period concerned.

Fund transfers
ACTION allows you to create a file that contains the information that your bank needs in order to make direct deposits. This file must then be forwarded to your bank.

Monthly and annual list
The monthly list allows you to see the amounts of the deductions at source and employer contributions that must be remitted to the government. The total for a given month is compiled and displayed as a list.

Record of employment
Employees who resign or are laid off need a record of employment in order to collect employment insurance benefits. With ACTION, you can calculate total earnings to date and print them in a format that you determine with the format editor.

Management of cumulatives
Year-to-date earnings and deductions are compiled and displayed so that you can see total hours worked and the pay earned by each employee. These figures are valid from January 1 to December 31. They can be used to print records of employment as well as tax information slips.

Printed or electronic Relevé 1 and T4 slips
Because all gainfully employed Québecers must file federal and provincial tax returns every year, employers are obliged to provide them with Relevé 1 and T4 slips. With ACTION, you can print these slips in the format required by each government. They can be adjusted easily with the format editor whenever the government makes changes, so that printing them becomes a very quick and easy task.
