Q&A Recorded:
Can I change the pay rate in the middle of the week or pay period without changing rate of prior time entries? How does it affect overtime, which hours will it affect? Also if an employee has multiple new rate (on stub) x hours for period it won't equal the gross amount. Correct?
When changing the pay rate and there is an open timecard, EBMS will give the following message "The worker has open timecards. Would you like to change the hourly rate in these timecards?" Select Yes and it should change the rate on any open timecard.
A Payroll Admin can edit the rate on each timecard line as well if needed. (Learn More)
We have snacks deductions setup as worker taxes. We enter the amounts during the Calculate Taxes step. How can I turn it off when there is a period with no snack deductions? Tried deselecting during Advanced method, however they still appear during the calculate tax step.
Unselecting the Select and Add to Taxable options should not populate the tax to have to enter it. Further testing is being done to make sure this is working correctly currently in EBMS.
Can I set up several pay periods ahead of time, like into Sept and Oct?
Sure. However all the Pay Periods will appear in the timecard drop-down and your employees will need to make sure they select the current one and not a future one when entering time on the timecard. So in one sense having all those entered ahead of time will make the Pay Period list longer and could possibly cause more frequent errors. But there is no other reason that a user cannot do that. You can read more about Pay Periods here.
Do you have vacation accrual features? I am looking for accruing vacation pay by a certain time amount for each hour worked. I don't see that feature.
Yes, vacation can be incremented and carried over year to year based on the workers hire date. Currently this can be incremented or added to per timecard/or pay period and per calendar year. See this under the Pay type > Properties > Condition > enter the condition as Each Timecard or Beginning of Calendar year. Enter the amount you would like to increment or accrue in the amount field. Choose Never if you would not like to accrue hours based on the above and only manually change these hours. Learn More
Does Eagle interface with tax entities directly to report tax payments?
EBMS does not have an interface or integrate with online tax filings. Reports are very efficient to be run and then filings with the user's online source. EBMS does have the 941 quarterly report to be printed and filed.
Are all of these tasks covered in the video available to the user regardless of the level of software they have?
They should be, no advanced tasks or options were shown.
If I create an adjustment entry in the checking reconciliation, can I edit that entry later?
The actual adjustment cannot be edited. However, a second reversing adjustment can be made. Create a new adjustment in the Reconcilation screen using the exact same type & accounts as before and enter the amount of adjustment in a negative the original amount.
Can you pre-set things like breaks and lunch so they are automatically deducted from total hours daily?
You can find these settings under the Advanced tab of each worker account. Insert Breaks Automatically and the Daily Hours section can be used for this.
