Payroll Conversion

Carla Jones — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 15:15:27 GMT

I'm looking for feedback from organizations that have completed the Payroll conversion from Accounting for Non Profits to Financial Edge. We did the General Ledger & Accounts Payable conversion on our own and had no issues and we're now considering doing the Payroll conversion. I would like to know the issues other organizations have had after doing the conversion on their own as well as any issues faced when Blackbaud does the conversion.

w-2s

Robi Peters — Fri, 29 Dec 2006 15:30:16 GMT

i wanted to let every know that:I just tested printing off a 2006 4 up preprinted w-2 in payroll 6 and it printed the fourth w-2 on the second page not on the first page even though the alignment for the top three w-2 was correct. I checked up on the drivers on the two different printers I have tried and they are up to date. I have a call into BB support and they are working on this problem.

Third Party Sick Pay

Steve Harris — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 16:36:03 GMT

The knowledgebase is very limited on how to set up third party sick pay. We fully fund the ISM long and short term disabilty for our employees and ISM is not an agent according to IRS rules but they have transferred liability to us , the employer, for our share of FICA and Medicare taxes. This is the first occurrance of sick pay for us since installing Blackbaud. Can anyone lead me through the proper setup in Payroll 6 so that our tax liability is correct and the W-2 is correctly printed at years end? Thanks, Steve Harris The de Pauls School

PA filing of W2s

Paula Kistler — Tue, 30 May 2006 19:40:26 GMT

I'm looking for another Blackbaud client in PA who has successfully uploaded their W2 file to etides. We have not yet been successful (yes I know it's 5/30!). Support believes the file is correct and says there are other PA clients who have successfully filed their report. Feel free to contact me directly to discuss.

Timesheet Applications

Denée McKnight — Thu, 23 Feb 2006 15:57:10 GMT

We currently outsource to ADP for payroll services. We are considering using their online timesheets, but they don't seem to have a template that would make sense for a project based company. Does anyone else use ADP online timesheets or use some other import into ADP?

My name is La'Tonya Gooden, and I work at Senior Connection in Chamblee, Ga.

If so, we would like to come and sit through one of your payroll run with you, if that will be possible. Thank you

Direct Deposit

Marlene Scibilia — Tue, 11 May 2004 13:26:33 GMT

We have PNC as a bank they have a validator link on their website. It works wonderful. We send an .ach file extension 48 hours before pay day. Before you use the payroll make sure you have everything working with your bank to send a pre-note authorization file. If this file works, then, your payroll will also work fine. The pre-authorization file verifies your routing numbers and account numbers for each employee. Then , you change from pre-authorization to EFT which creates a document for your bank.(Make sure you know the name of this document in your computer) If you need to ask me something. plea call me at 570-636-1108 ext 132 Marlene

27 Pay Periods in 2004

Kim Bruemleve — Wed, 07 Jan 2004 15:52:04 GMT

Calendar year 2004 has 27 biweekly pay periods for our company. The first pay date was 01/02/04 and the last will be 12/31/04. Hourly people will of course be paid for time worked. The question is how to handle Salaried people. Their annual wage is currently divided into 26 pay periods. If I change it to 27 pay periods it will reduce their check amount each payday, but they will be receiving the same annual wage. Is your company experiencing this problem? If so, how are you handling it?

FICA withholding

Terry Milius — Wed, 22 Oct 2003 16:21:18 GMT

If you have several employees who exceed the maximum FICA earnings amount for a given year, you would expect their FICA withholding totals to be the same. Because of rounding issues, some may be a few cents less while others are exactly the maximum amount. In theory they should all be the maximum amount. I am curious as to if this concerns anybody else using the payroll module or if it really doesn't matter. My second question is, if it does matter would it be worth the trade off of some processing speed? Terry Milius Comptroller Southern College of Optometry
