ANSWERS helps you handle hourly and salaried compensation efficiently and smoothly.  The system calculates pay based on an hourly rate and hours worked or a fixed salary.  Several pay types are available. 

Withholding taxes are automatically calculated and fixed deductions are deducted from the gross pay.  The check is calculated for each employee on the display terminal while you enter time information.  This allows you to see exactly how each check will be printed without having to wait on a batch proof report. 

Any calculated pay, deduction or tax can be overridden during time input allowing great flexibility in payroll entry.  The system accommodates multiple companies and multiple payroll periods within your company. 

Multiple state taxes are also included.  A check reconciliation subsystem verifies paychecks that cleared the bank and maintains a file of outstanding checks.  Both pay types and deductions can be excluded from one or all mandatory taxes.

Pay types and deductions can be coded with IRS codes so they appear in the proper boxes on the employee's W-2.
