Labor and Payroll Settings

The labor module and payroll system require the important settings such as payroll year, minimum wage, default pay types, and other settings.

Complete the following steps to review and edit payroll settings:

Go to Labor > Labor Options > General tab from the EBMS menu and the following window will appear:
Select the proper checking account to use for payroll from the dropdown box in the Payroll Bank Account box. This bank account may be a separate checking account used only for payroll or a common checking account that is used also for paying expense invoices.
Enter the current payroll year in the Payroll Year block. This field will be automatically updated when a Payroll Year is closed.
Active Payroll Period is the current open payroll period. This can be changed here if there is more than one payroll period open. If only one payroll period is open, it will be listed as the active period. To enter new payroll periods, review the Opening New Pay Period section.
Default Pay Type can be set at Regular, Vacation, Sick, Piecework, etc. This should normally be set to Regular unless your company has changed the standard pay types or added one of their own.
Default Salary Type is the pay type that will be the company default for salary, if different from hourly employees.
Enter Hours Daily enables the entry of dates in the employee Advanced tab window for daily hours. Review the Daily Hours section for more details.

The following two options are available only if the Piecework or Prevailing Wage modules are added. Contact your Koble Systems account manager for information on adding these modules.

Enable piecework enables piecework.

Enable prevailing wages enables prevailing wages.
