Calculates all types of payments and deductions

Salaries An employee's salary can be calculated from an award table, or an individually entered amount. You can customise the factor used to calculate a pay period's salary from an annual amount. Wages An employee can have up to three different pay rates, which can be derived from an award table or individually entered rates. Overtime Each of the three basic hourly rates can be modified by a factor to produce overtime rates at time and a half, double time, or any other factor you wish. Leave Accruals and Payments Kwik-Pay has the ability to add leave entitlements to employee balances on the anniversary of the employee's start date, or you can accrue leave on a pay period by pay period basis. When the employee takes some of their leave entitlement, you just add a leave payment to their pay calculation screen. Taxable and Tax-Free Allowances A number of taxable and tax free allowance have been predefined in Kwik-Pay. You can easily add more of your own. Each allowance can be based on the employee's hourly rate, the hours worked, a fixed rate per allowance or simply a cash amount you enter. Employee Expenses You can reimburse employee expenses in Kwik-Pay. The amount is paid tax free and is not reported on the employee's Tax Certificate. Sub Contractors Kwik-Pay does not restrict you to just paying employees. You can add sub contractors to your payroll and you have the choice of paying and accounting for GST, or Withholding Tax. PAYE All the standard tax rates, including student loan deduction rates are built in with Kwik-Pay, and you can update them yourself if you wish (32 bit system). When rates change you will be offered an update to the software which includes the latest tax rates and enhancements to the system. You can also override Kwik-Pay's PAYE calculation using a percentage rate of tax or a cash amount. Student Loan Deduction The standard Student Loan Deduction is calculated and held separately by Kwik-Pay. You can override the calculation using a percentage rate or cash amount. Employer and Employee Superannuation Kwik-Pay calculates both employer and employee superannuation deductions. Employer contributions are not used in the net pay calculation, but are included in the costing or general ledger report. Multiple Employee Bank Accounts An employee can have their pay direct credited to multiple bank accounts. You can direct credit either a fixed amount, a percentage of their net pay, or just the remaining net pay to any number of different bank accounts. Third Party Direct Credits With Kwik-Pay you can direct credit third parties with deductions from employee's pay. As a service to employees you could deduct insurance premiums or mortgage payments and include the transactions in your direct credit schedule. Employee Overheads Overheads such as accommodation and company contributions on behalf of employees can be added to the pay calculation and included in the costing report or general ledger journals.

Flexible Data Entry

Open Pay Period Operation Reprinting one of a previous pay period's reports, or even changing a pay item in a previous pay period is as easy as selecting the pay date from a drop down list. Modify Payslip Directly In Kwik-Pay's pay calculation screen you just click on a button to add a payment or deduction to an employee's payslip. Changing an item is as easy as clicking your mouse button twice. As each payment is added or changed, other payments and the PAYE, Student Loan Deduction and Child Support are all calculated and displayed immediately. Global Entry of Payments and Deductions Kwik-Pay even has a feature to allow you to add a payment or deduction to every employee's pay with a single entry. Giving everyone a Christmas bonus or recording a public holiday can be done in a fraction of the time it would take in other payroll systems. Transaction Scheduler The transaction scheduler in Kwik-Pay provides you with a diary to remind you about notable events, such as an employee's pay review, as well as recording payments that occur at frequencies different from employee's pay frequency, such as rostered days off. Import from Time clocks, Spreadsheets, or ASCII Text Files If you have an electronic time clock system, you can save hours by importing all employee's hours directly. Kwik-Pay's pay data import is so flexible it can collect data from Time clocks, Spreadsheet programs, or any other software capable of creating an ASCII text file.
