Payroll management made easy
There is more to processing payroll than printing checks. You need to maintain detailed records with clear audit trails, track sick and vacation days, keep up to date with tax law changes, and meet government reporting requirements. OPEN SYSTEMS® Accounting Software (OSAS®) Payroll  application can handle it all. It also enables you to analyze payroll expenses and employee productivity, as well as
control costs and review expense distribution.

You can produce detailed reports to help you plan and
generate a budget.  Manage your expenses efficiently by tracking FUTA, SUI, Medicare, and Social Security, as well as earnings by department. You decide whether to
calculate scheduled deductions as a fixed amount, a
percentage of gross pay, an hourly rate, or a declining
balance.

You can easily produce W-2s--printed on forms, mailers, or stored on magnetic media to meet federal requirements. When you subscribe to the Open Systems Continuous
Enhancement Subscription Program for Payroll with State Tax Option, you'll receive updates to federal and state
come tax tables.   

You'll have total flexibility in setting up your payroll. Define pay codes for regular, overtime, double-time, sick,
vacation time, or any other payment method for hourly
employees.  999 user-definable deductions are allowed per company, as well as taxable and/or nontaxable
earnings codes, and an option for fixed federal, state, and local withholdings.

Store monthly employee history on earnings, deductions, and withholdings for use in reports required by some states.

You'll be able to produce accurate unemployment reports with weeks worked calculation.

Allow multiple tax rates per employee and per company, and also multiple states and multiple localities for both employee and employer withholdings. Define up to fifteen different tax codes such as worker's compensation, SDI, and L & I.

You'll be able to track vacation and sick time hours by
letting the system automatically accrue them for each
employee. A complete audit trail answers employee
questions about this important accrual.

You can process the new year's payroll before you print
W-2s for the old year.  The Year-End Maintenance function
creates last-year data files.

B) Attach Documents:
You can now attach "documents"  to key master records.  They are accessible from
Maintenance, Daily Work, and Inquiry, as well as through Shift+F2.  Documents here are
defined as Images, Spreadsheets, local HTML pages and text documents.   
For example: attach a map to your customer's site with job records; attach performance
reviews to employee records; photos to
inventory records; or budget and forecasting spreadsheets to assets records. 
This is a very slick and useful tool. 

C) e-mail reports
Most of your reports can now be emailed
directly! Once you have set it up, with your
outgoing mail address, you can call up a report in the print screen page and choose among Print, Print Preview, File and Email.  If you pick Email, a window pops up and asks you for the recipient's email address. Then you click on OK.  That's how simple it is!

These are just a few of the many new
features in the new OSAS.  If you are current on your Maintenance, you should expect to receive this new version in the near future.
