EFT DIRECT PAYROLL CANADIAN 6.5A

PTF APR 30 2001

This file contains information that is not included in the manual, or that has changed since the manual went to press. We suggest you print out this file and note all changes in the manual. CORPORATE MAINTENANCE SCREEN CHANGES It is possible now to enter blank fields for the company name and company abbreviated name. The names will pop up automatically from the Payroll Global file. New bank added to the list of Canadian banks - # 8 : "Credit Unions of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba". The file format for the transfer to a bank is CPA. For use in French Canada, the fields "Reglement Code" and "Element Identification" are enabled and can be edited. "Reglement Code" can have alphanumeric value and "Element Identification" should be numeric. In most cases the "Element Identification" should be all zeros. It is allowed to leave both blank. MENU/PROCEDURAL CHANGES New menu choice # 5 - Print Advices added to the Cheque Run menu. The payroll procedure for EFT employees has changed. The procedure is as follows: 1. Generate Payroll Register for all employees, using "Normal Payroll" in the Run Options. 2. Choose Payroll Direct (Generation). 3. In Housekeeping through Maintain Specifications, choose the appropriate specification file to make active for Advice Printing. 4. Print Advices for direct deposit employees. 5. Repeat step 3 to choose the correct specification file to make active for cheque printing (optional, only if you need to print cheques). 6. Proceed with a payroll cheque run. Steps 5 & 6 are only necessary if there are employees using paper cheques. If all the employees are using Direct Deposit, steps 5 & 6 could be omitted. The old way to process EFT employees and Cheque employees using separate Cheque Run Options is left intact and still can be used. ADVICE NUMBERS The advices are now numbered sequentially. The advice numbers no longer start from 1 every time advices are printed. When a user starts the Print Advices function or Cheque run using "EFT employees only" option, he is prompted to enter the advice start number. The default number to begin the Advice printing job would be one more than the last printed advice number. The "EFT Advice" numbering system is separate from the cheques numbering system.
