Payroll Assistant

Made2Manage Payroll Assistant provides a flexible, efficient and user-friendly workforce management solution to collect and control your payroll data. Where shop floor data collection focuses on job costing and operations reporting for direct labor employees, Made2Manage Payroll Assistant focuses on collecting critical payroll information for all employees.

Made2Manage Payroll Assistant handles complex payroll formulas and rules that the core Made2Manage™ ERP does not currently address, such as shift differentials, jury duty, and vacations. Payroll processing that used to take days can now be done in hours, even within an environment where payroll data must be collected from multiple locations.

Made2Manage Payroll Assistant can be implemented as a standalone application or integrated with Made2Manage Shop Floor Data Collection - giving you complete labor reporting and payroll collection solution for your entire workforce. When fully integrated with Made2Manage Shop Floor Data Collection, Made2Manage Payroll Assistant automates the collection, calculation and preparation of payroll data, thus increasing the efficiency of your operation by reducing the errors that can occur in a traditional paper-based time keeping system.

Made2Manage Payroll Assistant is an open solution that can work with most scanners and controllers. The application can eliminate the need for expensive proprietary hardware and allow you to use existing Made2Manage Shop Floor Data Collection devices.

Made2Manage Payroll Assistant includes interfaces to the most popular payroll packages, such as Abra, ADP, Ceridian and Paychex, which allows easy export capability to your current payroll software. You have the choice to extend the standard features by customizing the application to suit your needs. Made2Manage Payroll Assistant supports SQL Server, Oracle® or Access relational databases.

End users will easily adopt the system, as it utilizes familiar windows and pull-down menus. The security features limit access to authorized personnel only and allow customization of the access levels. The security features also limit employee information available to a user, according to shifts and departments.

Made2Manage Payroll Assistant offers a special “Agency Time Card” detail report to simplify calculation and reporting of weekly hours for agency employees. Supervisors can easily verify the hours of both regular and agency employees.

Made2Manage Payroll Assistant can calculate hours based on the schedules that you create, and you can provide unique shift definitions or prepare global scheduling.

The “Lost Time Codes” report gives your company the option to set up a Merit/De-Merit program. This unique feature can track lost time and indicate whether that time was paid or unpaid. You have the flexibility to assign codes and a point value system as they pertain to your employees or business.

Made2Manage Payroll Assistant provides several reports:

• Absentee
• Daily Labor
• Early/Late by Employee and by Department
• Missed Punches
• Overtime
• Payroll
• Punch Logs
• Time Card Detail
• Agency Time Card Detail
• Hours by Week
• File Listing
• Monthly Attendance
• Lost Time by Department/Employee
• Vacation Summary by Department/Employee
• Weekly Hours Exception
• Daily Missed Punches
• Daily Punch Exception
• Weekly Schedule

Eliminate double entry, avoid mistakes and reduce time spent keying-in data, all while increasing your labor productivity and your bottom line. Additionally, because all entries - with the exception of punches made via scan stations - are recorded in an Audit Log, a limited number of users can easily review key data associated with each employee. Then when finalizing payroll, supervisors can create Weekly Hours Exception reports to identify and correct most errors (i.e. missed punches, miscalculations, unauthorized overtime, etc.) before exporting the hours.

Once payroll information has been exported and processed by your company’s payroll processor, Made2Manage Payroll Assistant can then import the GL information from this payroll and format it into a file for import into Made2Manage. No longer is it necessary to key journal entries into Made2Manage to account for payroll. Made2Manage Payroll Assistant can do the work for you.

Supervisors can also smoothly manage their workforce by creating Vacation Summary reports that display the days and hours that employees plan to use toward their allotted vacation time. With these time and date ranges clearly highlighted, supervisors can then effortlessly make plans to ensure that sufficient staff support will be in place at the appropriate times.

• Reduce payroll processing time across multiple locations.
• Manage complex payroll formulas and rules with ease.
• Achieve high cost effectiveness by leveraging existing hardware.
