TACT PAYROLL


TACT Payroll, like all of the TACT programs, is a one-entry system. You log the weekly (or daily) activity by employee or job. The system will find the correct rate of pay, workman's compensation, and General Ledger code for you. That's all you do - the system does the rest. Paychecks, W-2's, quarterly reports, labor distribution, workmen's compensation breakdowns and certified payroll are all done for you without any additional data entry.

PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS - The TACT Payroll system allows for up to 10 payroll deductions in addition to taxes. These deductions may be fixed, hourly, percentage of gross pay, pre-tax or 401(k). Each Deduction may carry a balance and the system will automatically stop taking the deduction when the balance reaches zero. Automatic checks may be generated for any deduction. You may specify the deduction amount for each employee.

EMPLOYEE LOANS - If you give employee loans, the system will automatically deduct the weekly amount specified until the loan is paid off.

VARIABLE PAY RATES - Pay rates may vary according to job. On prevailing wage jobs, the system will automatically calculate the correct rate for an employee taking into account their benefits paid and apprentice percent. TACT can also handle all special prevailing wage benefit plans.

SPECIAL ACTIVITIES - Sick time, vacation, holiday pay and other absences may be tracked separately and are printed on the pay stub.

PAYCHECKS - The payroll stub shows year-to-date gross, net, taxes and all deductions and is printed on a standard check form. TACT also shows direct deposit information, vacation and sick accruals and number of hours paid at each rate on the stub. Tax deposit checks may be printed automatically, also.

REIMBURSEMENTS AND BONUSES - TACT can handle reimbursements for any expense as well as bonuses - all in the employee's regular paycheck if desired.
