Calculating an Employee's Pay

You can calculate the pay for an employee using the Pay Check Calculator form.

Note: The Pay Check Calculator form uses either the Deduction Period or manually-entered deductions in the Deductions panel when calculating taxable amounts, but it does not do both. For example:

•

If the Deduction Period is set, the system ignores manually-entered entries in the Deductions panel for taxable wage calculations.

•

If the Deduction Period is blank, the system recognizes manually-entered deductions for taxable wage calculations.

One example for using this form is when the client does business in a state where the law requires that the employee receive a final check upon termination. You can calculate the net amount of the check after all taxes and deductions.

Important! PrismHR strongly recommends that you communicate any pay check calculations and final employee check distributions with your payroll departments as soon as possible to ensure that all payroll process issues are taken into account.

Note:  To restrict user access to only the calculation function, open the appropriate User Role and set the form access to Inquiry. Users with that user role will be able to perform calculations but cannot create vouchers or checks.
