The Payroll (PAY) application contained within MANAGE 2000 performs all payroll tasks from converting time worked into wages to electronic deposits of paychecks. It accepts labor reporting from the shop floor as its principal input or it can be operated independently. It is integrated with the General Ledger application for posting of labor distribution, payroll taxes, and benefits. The Payroll Interface (PAYI) application provides the flexibility to interface with third-party PC payroll systems or outside payroll service bureaus. It furnishes users an easy and efficient method of collecting labor information in MANAGE 2000 and making it available for payroll processing on the PC payroll or human resources system of their choice.
