Pay Runs and Pay Items

Subject to the appropriate permissions in Accentis Enterprise, you can completely un-apply or undo a pay run and start again if something went wrong. While this is not something that would be done regularly, it can be an invaluable feature when it is required. When the changes have been made, the pay run can be re-applied.

For each pay item that you pay an employee, you can define exactly when that pay item should be applied depending on the hours worked by the employee. This is perfect for defining an employee’s normal working hours and days versus what constitutes overtime and at what rate so that time sheets automatically select the correct pay item for you.

Simple Payroll Functions

Our focus is to provide payroll and H/R software that is easy enough to be used by anyone, not just a trained payroll administrator. We have industry-leading features such as Automated provision adjustments, Full pay advice reporting, Integrated document management functionality and User-defined HR achievements.

Accentis Enterprise Payroll has been designed so that any of your administration staff can use it. You don’t have to know how to work out different rates of tax, leave loading, leave accruals, superannuation or ETP payments – it’s all done for you. In fact, the only work the “payroll” officer needs to do from pay to pay is to enter who has taken leave or worked overtime.

Human resources are exactly that, a resource that business leans on to provide service, knowledge and experience. This leads to a better product for your company and overall customer satisfaction.

Managing human resources is critical to the success of any business. The management of human resources encompasses training, policy structure, working rights and various employee benefits and reprimands. Running a business with a strong focus on HR improves morale and employee retention.

Process a pay run in seconds

Accentis Enterprise payroll has been designed so that pay runs can be processed quickly. A standard pay run with ordinary pay can be full processed with 6 mouse clicks in about 10 seconds. Adding various types of leave, overtime or bonuses is extremely fast so a more typical pay run can still be processed in a very short amount of time.

Automatic ETP calculations

Upon termination with or without ETP amounts, Accentis Enterprise calculates all of the taxes and deductions currently required by legislation.

Seamless integration with General Ledger

All transactions required during pay run processing are posted immediately and seamlessly to the General Ledger, there are no additional manual journal entries required.

Each department defines its own General Ledger accounts for salary expenses and provisions, allowing you to create departmental sub-ledgers.

Direct link to job costing

Because Accentis Enterprise is fully integrated, the job costing timesheets module makes use of the salary details in the payroll module to apportion costs for employees to jobs based on their timesheet entries.

Even the pay rates and pay items can be specified directly on the timesheet (subject to permissions).

Automatic balancing of leave provisions

One of the most innovative features of Accentis Enterprise is its ability to monitor and adjust employees’ leave provisions constantly to ensure that the amount is in line with their current rate of pay. When an employee is given a pay rise, you can be sure that the provision account will be adjusted to allow for the new pay rate.
