Why purchase a Payroll?
These days a manual payroll can mean a lot of work for an employer. The time required to calculate holiday pay whenever an employee takes a holiday, the time taken to calculate KiwiSaver, and the time taken to fill out the Employer Monthly Schedule (IR348) takes time away from other more important jobs.
Using FiveStar Payroll Pro saves you this time! Calculations are made automatically, the Employer Monthly Schedule can be printed at the touch of a button or click of the mouse, or even sent electronically to the IRD. Paying your employees is quick and easy too - FiveStar Payroll Pro creates a file which can be uploaded to your bank to pay directly into your employees bank accounts. Full records are kept and easily viewed or printed when required.

Employees can be identified numerically and alphabetically (by use of an alpha key of up to 10 characters).
Codes for allowances, deductions and departments can be defined with up to 4 alpha numeric characters. Eg Travel Allowance could have the code TRAV.
Allowances, deductions and departments can be given descriptive names of up to 30 characters.
Pick Lists - When entering an allowance, deduction, or department, a list of available items can be displayed in most areas allowing the user to easily select the required item. This avoids having to memorise codes.
Employee Notes - Three separate areas are available - a section for qualifications, an area for general notes, and a third area for a payslip message.
Sick Leave - Can be recorded in days or hours. (Cannot have some employees on one and some on the other, but can have fractions of a day eg 0.1 or 0.25 etc).
Holiday Pay - Can be recorded in days or hours. (Cannot have some employees on one and some on the other, but can have fractions of a day eg 0.1 or 0.25 etc). Alternatively, some employees can be put on a simple percentage method (eg 6%, 8% or other, of gross).
A pay history is kept for employees and departments (along with allowances and deduction totals for each pay run).
Check Pays - Before updating your totals, a report can be printed summarising the total hours, gross pay and PAYE for each employee who has been set as ready to be paid. This also shows the employees tax code and pay frequency to help avoid errors.
Status - A current status is available so that you can immediately see how many employees are defined in the payroll, how many are active and how many are ready to be paid.
Undo Update - An option to undo the last updating of totals is available to make error correction relatively easy.
Comprehensive reporting is available, with most reports giving a number of user options depending on the information required.
A number of different payslip options are available.
Password protection with up to two levels of passwords is provided.
Full details and a full tutorial explaining features of Payroll Pro are available with the CDROM.
