Payroll Software from Dexter + Chaney
Spectrum's Payroll module is designed to meet the very unique requirements of the Construction Industry. Within the same pay period, multiple pay rates, multiple states, and multiple union fringes may be handled in order to efficiently process a payroll cycle. Spectrum's Payroll system not only tracks the direct cost of labor, but it calculates all of the employer taxes, union benefits, fringe benefits, and allocation of other overhead, such as G & A expenses, small tools, and hours of equipment usage. The time card entry allows unlimited job and phase distributions with multiple pay rates per employee and per union.
A virtually unlimited number and variety of individual payroll requirements are available. Garnishments, 401Ks, cafeteria plans, and employee purchases are some examples. The structure of these deductions or add-ons is user-defined for maximum flexibility. The tax effects for each variable are also user-defined. Reporting provides a detailed history of all transactions.
The entire payroll process is handled efficiently, and includes quarterly tax reports, certified reports, union reports, and EEOC reports - which are automatically generated.
Features
- Change the auto-deposit status of a new employee, even when checks are in progress, when a new employee is being added via the New Employee Code window (which defaults to Add mode). Changes to the auto-deposit status of all other employees are prevented when checks are in progress.
- In Payroll and Accounts Payable Payment Processing, if duplicate check numbers are found during printing, users must reprint the checks before the Payroll | Payment Processing cycle can be updated.
- Users can specify a bank account for the cycle when the Cash Management module is installed and the 'Post payroll transactions' check box is selected in the Cash Management Installation screen.

Likewise, the Time Card Edit List offers the ability to sort by employee and by department, along with a summary version of the sort by employee format.
