- Screenfile YTD_TFER.SCN Screen# 01
-
- You will see the above screen when you are adding new employees. In most cases
- a new employee is just that, new, he has no Year to Date information to be
- transferred and if that is the case reply N here and forget about the remaining
- screens in this section.
-
- However, if you are starting PAYROLL USA for the first time part way through a
- year then there will be a Year to Date balance to be transferred from your
- prior system for this employee. We transfer the YTD so it can be included with
- the remainder of this year's pay on his W-2 form printed at year end, and so
- that annual maximums on FICA, FUTA, and SUTA wages can be properly taken into
- account when calculating future taxes.
-
- Note, however, that 941, 940, and Quarterly State Unemployment forms printed by
- PAYROLL USA will not include figures transferred from a prior system as figures
- for these forms are built up on a pay by pay, quarter by quarter basis. Your
- prior figures will need to be manually added to the 941 and Quarterly State
- Unemployment forms for the first quarter you use PAYROLL USA and to the 940
- Annual Federal Unemployment form for the first year you use PAYROLL USA if you
- start part way into a Quarter or part way into a Year.
-
- If you need to complete these screens you do not have to do it when adding the
- employee. Providing you do it before the first PAYROLL USA pay cycle you can
- access the employee in update mode after you have added him. When doing so
- start at the YTD Hours screen and the above message will appear when you press
- any key from the YTD Hours screen. Note that the pay cycle locks these YTD
- screens for audit trail purposes so you will be unable to change them after
- that without calling Anthistle Systems for help.

-
- You can transfer YTD hours on this screen. PAYROLL USA does nothing with YTD
- hours other than add to them and print the totals on the YTD Payroll Register
- which is an internal report for your use only. If you do not use these figures
- for internal statistical purposes etc., and if you do not have them easily
- available then you can omit them, just press PgDn to skip to the next screen.
- See the EMP_UPDT series of screen documentation for an explanation of the
- abbreviations on this screen, if needed.

-
- Before you make any YTD pay and deduction entries this explanatory window will
- pop up.
-
- Screenfile YTD_TFER.SCN Screen# 04
-
- Now you can enter your YTD pay and deductions for this employee.

-
- The last of the YTD screens. Sick and Vacation Accruals are optional. If you
- are using these features then enter the dollar value of accumulated time from
- your existing system. It is vitally important that the figures on the right
- side of this screen are entered. We have deliberately left them as zeroes here
- (an error) to show another feature on the next screen.
-
- Screenfile YTD_TFER.SCN Screen# 06
-
- The program will calculate what it thinks are the correct values for employee
- FICA and for the employee + company totals expected on the right side of the
- previous screen. It compares your entry to its calculations and if significant
- differences are found this screen is displayed. The "FICA Soc Sec." and "State
- Unempl." items are the employee contributions from Y.T.D. PAGE 2 OF 3 but the
- other items are from the right hand column of Y.T.D. PAGE 3 OF 3.
-
- Screenfile YTD_TFER.SCN Screen# 07
-
- Check the figures displayed on the previous screen against the figures from
- your previous system, correct any differences in earlier YTD screens then enter
- the correct amounts on the right hand side of this screen as shown here. At
- 1990 rates FUTA LIAB is FUTA WAGE times 6.2%, FUTA STATE CREDIT AVAIL is FUTA
- WAGE times 5.4%, AMT SOC SEC ON WAGES is TXBLE 941 SOC SEC WAGES times 15.3%
- (includes both employer and employee contributions). SUTA LIAB is calculated at
- your individual rate. There are annual maximum (cut off) wages's for all these
- calculations. (1990 $7,000 for FUTA and most SUTA, $51,300 for SOC SEC).

-
- If at this point you press F8 your figures will be totalled and you can see if
- everything on this and the earlier screen looks good. You will not be able to
- return to earlier screens if you are just now adding this employee to the file,
- just complete the add then retrieve the employee in update mode and you can
- flip backwards and forwards using PgUp and PgDn (on your number keypad with Num
- Lock off, or on later keyboards there are also seperate grey PgUp and PgDn keys
- that are independent of Num Lock).
-
- When all employees have been transferred, and before the first pay cycle, you
- can use a utility program available from the main PAYUSA menu to add all
- employees together and print an overall total for comparison to the overall
- totals from your previous payroll. Take Choice F5 = "CONFIGURATION & OTHER
- UTILITIES" then take the sub choice for "CHECK INITIAL YTD TOTALS TRANSFERED
- INTO PAY USA".
