Payroll Manager Desktop
Payroll Manager Desktop runs Irish payroll on your own computer: PAYE, USC, PRSI, pensions and MyFutureFund, payslips, the SEPA bank file and the Revenue payroll submission. A bureau runs every client in one window; a company runs its own payroll. It works on Windows and Linux, and keeps working without an internet connection.
A tour of the window
- Employer: the employer (client) you are working on. + Add employer and Settings sit below it.
- Sidebar: Payroll, Employees, RPN, Revenue, MyFutureFund, Reports, then Updates & rules and Data & sync.
- Review payroll: checks the period and opens the review, where you approve and finalise.
- Totals of the current period: gross pay, deductions, net pay and how many employees are calculated.
- Status of the period: calculation, the last finalised period, Revenue, MyFutureFund and wages.
- The payroll grid: one row per employee. Amounts with a pencil in the heading can be typed in; deductions and net pay are always calculated.
- Status bar: where your data is saved, and which tax rules are installed and when they were last checked.
- Help (F1): opens the help page for the screen you are on. F1 works everywhere in the app.
