Additional Product Information
UNIWAGE is designed as a multi-group payroll system for the processing of Build-to-Gross and calculation of Net Pay. A key point of the System is flexibility; which is demonstrated in the variable input formats, parameterised processing and User definable output documents. ;The System can handle an unlimited number of pay groups from any combination of weekly, two weekly, four weekly or monthly payrolls. The number of input elements in the Build up to Gross can be as high as 9999 although typically less than 20 are normally used. If the User requires to use less than 20 they can be accommodated on an easy to enter, user defined input screen. The other option is to allow flexible transaction input which allows for as many input elements as required. In addition to flexible input the system caters for fixed inputs which are paid every period and also the provision of input information from an external source.;The number of deduction types can be as high as 9999 although it is normally less than 20. Each employee can have up to 20 deductions set up as standard in their pay record. Deductions handled include priority attachment of earnings and multiple pension schemes. Both fixed and variable deductions are handled and it is possible to suspend a deduction for a number of pay periods. Deductions can be paid into different bank accounts using the UNIBACS system. ;UNIWAGE follows all standard conventions in the calculation of pay and is tested against the IMIS test pack. Build to Gross Audit trails are available as well as Departmental Pay analysis, variable pay methods, flexible output documentation and a comprehensive series of reports. BACS output is provided.;SSP recording, SMP recording and the production of P11D?s are all included in the standard package at no additional cost.;Statutory Changes;The Statutory information provided by the Inland Revenue is held as a series of records in a Pay Control file. These records are Pay Group independent and hence only one set needs to be maintained irrespective of the number of pay groups processed. The information held in these records includes:-;TAX tables;NI tables;Car Fuel Details;SSP Parameters;SMP Parameters;This information is provided by Carval either via the internet or on a disc at the appropriate time.;When the Inland Revenue issue a global tax code update, the UNIWAGE users enter the information via the Global Tax Code update program and thus remove the tedium of having to update all the individual records.;Pay Groups;It is common for companies to operate more than one Pay Group. Typically there will be at least one Weekly payroll, one Monthly payroll and possibly an Executive payroll. The information relevant to the Pay Groups is maintained in a Group file ;Employees can be transferred from one Pay Group to another providing the Pay Groups have the same Tax reference. This removes the need to enter an employee as a Leaver on one Pay Group and as a Joiner on the new Pay Group. If the Tax Reference is different then an employee must be entered as a Leaver and a Joiner to keep the Inland Revenue Year End returns correct.;Employee Details;The information held for the employee is considerable The Employee record can be displayed, amended or printed . Further facilities give the User the option to maintain a History of pay details for each employee and to be able to produce a P11 Deductions Working Sheet.;Extensive use is made of look up tables to ensure the information being entered is valid and sensible within the organisation processing the payroll. Look Ups can either be by description or the actual code.;Sick / Maternity Pay;The pay system allows for the entry and recording of SSP and SMP values. However for those Companies who wish to computerise the full SSP/SMP records, UNIWAGE includes a Statutory Sick and Maternity Pay System which is integrated with the standard payroll. ;Deductions;Pay deductions can be numerous and of varying degrees of complexity. The complexity is caused by the need to handle such diverse deductions as:-;Non taxable;Non taxable
& Non NI-able;Court Orders;Pension Contributions;Charitable Donations;Priority Attachment of Earnings;etc.;Up to 20 deductions can be set as standard for each employee and these will be processed each pay period. The total number of deductions available to a Pay Group can be as high as 9999. Each deduction will have a number of parameters that will define how it will be processed in the calculation phase.;Pension Scheme;Each Pay Group can have a virtually unlimited number of Company Pension Schemes and each employee can belong to up to 2 Pension Schemes. The Company Pension Schemes are designed so that the Pensionable Pay can be calculated from supplied parameters and the contribution can either be a fixed sum or a percentage. Additional Voluntary Contributions are allowed for and these can also be either a percentage or a fixed sum.;Information Input;There are various methods of entering information into the Payroll System.;Simple Entry;The most straightforward is for the User to specify the elements of Build to Gross that are required (up to 20). These are then presented back to the User as an Input Screen each time he wishes to enter Payroll information, together with standard boxes for SSP and SMP. In the example below only 4 input elements were required.;Flexible Entry;This method of input allows the User to specify input codes (up to 9999) that have been set up and to enter the appropriate hours or value against the code. This means the number of input lines is unlimited and if an Open Format Payslip is used the employee can receive chapter and verse of what is being paid.;Flexible Entry by Department allows all the flexibility of Flexible input but allows users to allocate the amount of time worked to particular departments.;. ;Build to Gross Monitoring;Build to Gross details will be reported on an Input Audit Trail. In addition the User will have the option to maintain a History of Build to Gross so that the current year can be viewed. Build to Gross details can also be viewed in the Departmental, Cost Centre and Group Analysis reports. ;Payroll Calculation;All employees will be processed within a single run of the program. When errors are found the input details are corrected and the calculation program is re-run to reflect the changes in the calculated pay. Whilst the employees are being processed a check is made for potential errors in the payroll details. ;Reporting;The following reports are produced by the System :-;Input Audit Report;Departmental, Group and Cost Centre Totals;Payslips in various forms;P60s, P35?s & P11D?s;Cheques, Credit Transfers;Cheque Listing, Credit Transfer Listing, Autopay Listing, BACS Listing;History Enquiry/Report;NI deduction report;Deduction Listings;P11 Enquiry/Report;P45 Enquiry;Working Hours Report;Nominal Analysis Report;Reports can either be viewed on the screen, printed or saved to a file.;Year End;All statutory year end documents are produced and employee records are reset ready for the new financial year. A P11D module is included as a standard part of the system.;.
