***Users of the ZPAYII Payroll System***
If you're a user of the ZPAYII system and upgrading to ZPAY 3 we
strongly advise you to run ZPAY 3's tutorial from the manual using
the sample data files before running a real payroll. There are
many different commands, and not being familiar, you can ruin your
old data files.
***Corrections to ZPAY 3 Manual:***
On page 3-3 change last paragraph on page "Refer to Page 3-5" to
"Refer to Page 3-7".
On page 3-4 change first paragraph on page "Refer to Page 3-7" to
"Refer to Page 3-13".
On page 3-4 change second paragraph on page "Refer to Page 3-11" to
"Refer to Page 3-21".
***Special note for MENU program users:***
Some menu programs do not actually "change" directories and drives
when calling programs to be run. The ZPAY 3 programs require that
you be "logged" into the directory in which the programs reside. If
you're using a menu or shell type of program to run programs on your
hard drive, you should use a batch file to run the ZPAY 3 programs
and not a direct call by your menu or shell program to ZPAY3.EXE.
A sample batch file will be shown below. In the sample batch file
the drive that ZPAY 3 is located on is the D: drive and the directory
is \ZPAY3. The batch file will move to the D: drive from the C: drive
and switch to the ZPAY3 directory. It will then call ZPAY3.EXE and on
exit return to the root directory of the C: drive.
Call the following batch file ZPAY3.BAT and place it in your root
directory of your C: drive.
D:
CD\ZPAY3
ZPAY3
C:
CD\
Now have your menu or shell program call the ZPAY3.BAT file and not
the ZPAY3.EXE program.
***Original LaserJet Printer Users:***
If you're using the original LaserJet printer you will need a font Cartridge
that supports both Portrait and Landscape Roman-8 line printer fonts in the
16.66 size.
***New Bridge function***
You may now export the payroll data into an "ASCII" file or a ".WKS"
spreadsheet file for importing by other programs.
"ASCII" Bridge File:
Many General Ledger programs are capable of importing data from packages
such as ZPAY 3. You will find a selection called BRIDGE under the
Miscellaneous reports sub menu in the REPORTS module. This selection will
create a file and name it BRIDGE.ASC. The file is a comma delimited file
and contains the following information in the following order:
1. Employee number
2. Employee name
3. Employee check number
4. Date paid
5. Regular pay for period
6. Bonus pay for period
7. Commission pay for period
8. Vacation pay for period
9. Reported tips for period
10. Collected tips for period
11. Federal tax for period
12. FICA for period
13. Medicare for period
14. State tax for period
15. Local tax for period
16. SDI tax for period
17. Mis. deduction 1 for period
18. Mis. deduction 2 for period
19. Mis. deduction 3 for period
20. Mis. deduction 4 for period
21. Mis. deduction 5 for period
22. Mis. deduction 6 for period
23. Net pay for period
One General Ledger program that supports the BRIDGE file is CheckMate
Plus version 1.02. Information on this program can be obtained from:

If you use Quicken and want to convert the BRIDGE data from ZPAY 3 for
use with Quicken, the Public (software) Library has a utility. They will
sell a copy of the program for $5.00 which will cover the cost of the
disk and postage. If you want to order on the phone with a MasterCard
or Visa, the charge is $9.00. Ask for the ZPAY 3 to Quicken conversion
utility.

".WKS" Bridge File:
If you select the .WKS format for the bridge file, the data may be used
by your spreadsheet programs. Some of the well known spreadsheet
programs are Lotus 123, SuperCalc and As-Easy-As. The file conversion
routines were provided to ZPAY by TRIUS, Inc., the makers of As-Easy-As
which is a great spreadsheet program with a fantastic price. If you do
not have a spreadsheet program and are interested you are invited to
contact the following for information:

***Special Note For Backup/Restore***
You must have the full drive and path name as your work file in order
for the RESTORE function to copy your files into the proper directory.
If you just have your work filename assigned without the full path,
the files will be restored to your root directory.
***Special Note For Changing Printer Port***
You can now change the output port that prints the ZPAY 3 reports. In the
main menu under Utilities is a sub selection Printer Port. This will
allow you to select LPT1, LPT2 or LPT3 as your output device. This
selection should be made for each "payroll file" that you are using. The
data is held in the printer data file for each company.
