  • User-defined earnings and benefits
  • Formula driven deductions

  • Complete audit trails (payroll register, cheque register, etc.)
  • Multi-company, multi-division, multi-department, multiple pay periods
  • Employees may be either salaried or hourly; they may be full time, part-time or casual
  • Special cheques may be printed at any time (Pay advances, Vacation pay, Bonuses etc.)
  • Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly and semi-monthly pay periods may be mixed in one payroll
  • Adjustments to any earning, any deduction, any benefit, etc.
  • Automatic computation of regular, overtime, doubletime, shift premiums, etc.

  • Holds year-end data for subsequent T4 processing to give complete T4 handling
  • `Forgiving' design lets you reset/correct/rerun a payroll
  • There is an option for piecework as part of the interface to the Production Tracking module of the Cherniak Software manufacturing system
  • Full history of rate changes by employee
  • Interface with Human Resources subsystem allows tracking staff evaluations, for example
  • Birthday lists, seniority lists, employee address labels, and more!
  • Table driven TAX/UIC/CPP computations readily support normal semi-annual tax changes

The system is fully menu driven, comprehensive in scope, and extremely easy to install and use, yet it is extremely powerful in the functionality it provides.

PowerPAY can be one part of an enterprise-wide information system for your organization, as it is not only fully integrated with GL but comes (optionally) with other subsystems as well (e.g. Order Processing, Inventory Control, Project Management).

The bottom line from an extensive review by a major Canadian corporation: "The system seems to do everything it needs to do and more; it offers much more flexibility than our Royal Bank system".
