Payroll FAQ's

Q:  I have added a Pay Type description and selected the tax handling, but it also appears that a ‘Default Amount’ is required.  We don’t set a default amount for this particular pay type.  What should I do?

A:  While the ‘Default Amount’ field is required to save a pay type in OnTarget. if this does not apply simply enter a ‘0’ to satisfy the requirement and then Save.

Q:  I understand that the ‘Pay Overtime’ checkbox for a Pay Type enables overtime calculations, but what does the ‘Include in Overtime Calculation’ checkbox do?

A:  ‘Include in Overtime Calculation’ instructs the system to include the hours against the pay type in the overtime calculations.  This should be checked if the time worked for the pay type should be included in the overall total eligible for overtime calculations.  

Q:  I have created and printed checks from the Paychecks desktop.  Is there a report that I can run to display all of the calculated checks and associated information?  

A:  The Check Register is the best report for this information.  From Paychecks, use any filters as needed to pre-filter the search grid.  Then, click on ‘Check Register’ and select from one of the 3 available report formats…Check Register, Check Register Summary, or Check Register Unformatted.  

Q:  I have created and printed checks from the Paychecks desktop.  However, I was unable to save the ach direct deposit file upon check printing.  Is there any way to regenerate the ach direct deposit file so that I can save it to my computer?

A:  The ach file can be regenerated at any time from the Paychecks desktop.  From Paychecks, use any filters as needed to pre-filter the search grid.  Then, click on ‘Reprint Checks’ and select ‘From Selected’ or ‘From All’; depending on what is needed.  Click on the ‘Create ACH File’ checkbox and click ‘Print’.  The ach file will be regenerated.  Select/open the ach .txt file and save as needed.
