Configure Payroll Settings
Use this screen to make high-level choices for operating Costpoint Payroll.
You must enter the general ledger accounts to be used for posting the payroll journal and decide upon a default pay cycle. You must also indicate the following:
- Whether modifications are allowed in the Payroll Edit table
- Whether audit trail tracking is enabled for payroll functions
- Whether you plan to post to multiple general ledger accounts for SUTA accruals and expenses (or post to only one default account)
- Whether SUTA reciprocity between states is enabled
Enter this information when you initialize Costpoint Payroll. The selections in the Posting Accounts group box are not required at this time. You can enter this information when you are ready to post a payroll. If you have one pay cycle that is used frequently, return to this screen after you have set up Pay Cycles on the Manage Pay Periods screen and choose that cycle as the default. This saves time when setting up employees and when the pay cycle is used throughout the module. The accounts you use here must first be set up on the Manage Accounts screen.
