Confidential Payroll Screens

From the Site Map screen, click the Confidential Payroll option.

The Confidential Payroll module allows companies to have complete security for administrative employee payroll without having to do any double entry work for General Ledger entries and tax reporting. This module is designed to have a separate company ID for "confidential" employees: regular employees should be paid through the main company, "confidential" employees should be paid through the confidential company. The confidential payroll expense and liability information will post, in summary form, to the main company General Ledger system. The Confidential Payroll module is integrated with Payroll primarily, but is also associated with Human Resources, Job Cost, General Ledger, Time + Material, Equipment Control, and Cash Management.

Confidential Payroll is used in conjunction with the Payroll module to process paychecks for employees whose personnel information is to remain separate from the general payroll system. Information generated and stored in Confidential Payroll, however, may be merged with the Payroll system for year-end or tax purposes.

When updating payroll in a confidential payroll company, the General Ledger account codes are obtained from the main company whenever possible. Likewise, union deductions and fringe benefits are obtained from the main company Maintenance if set up. When the Payroll Update is performed in a confidential payroll company, it will use the cash account if the confidential company is set up in the Chart of Accounts of the main company. If a valid cash G/L code is not specified in the Payroll Installation of the confidential company, then the update will use the G/L cash account specified in the main company Payroll Installation screen.
