AdaptaSoft — CyberPay

Initial creation of company files is fairly intuitive and guided by wizards.
It also allows the use of templates or copying over settings such as pay rates,
types and tax from existing businesses. The system provides comprehensive entry
forms that use multiple tabs for managing deductions, benefits, time off accruals,
third-party pay, GL accounts, pay groups, locations, billing and other components,
with the ability to create user-defined information fields for tracking other
data. Additionally, CyberPay’s HR functions enable tracking of extensive
employee data for EEO compliance. The WorkFlow Manager window guides users through
pending tasks and provides quick access to company lists and overviews of payroll
status, liability due dates and direct deposit functions, streamlining management
of multiple employer clients. Management can also track user productivity, assign
tasking and use scheduling functions. Employee screens provide similar search
and filtering options, while displaying summary information on the workers.

Time data entry can be imported from a variety of time clock programs and
from spreadsheets, or it can be manually entered on data-entry sheets for individual
employees, providing a broad view of salary, hourly rate, wages, deductions,
and paycheck data, along with PTO accruals, overtime and other miscellaneous
data. Users can also manage the distribution of an employee’s pay across
departments or pay groups. CyberPay allows an unlimited number of standard and
user-defined employee deductions, and offers management tools for handling retirement
benefits, flexible spending plans, workers’ compensation classifications,
and third-party liability payments. Any pay frequency can be set for pay groups,
and employees can be salaried, hourly, commission, tipped, piecework or bonus
based. Any number of pay rates can be set per employee, and it can also handle
blended overtime.

Other useful features include pop-up task reminders at the employee and company
level as well as service bureau trust account management and reconciliation
functions. CyberPay’s Bureau Command Center provides a centralized location
for managing remote and batch payroll processing, accessing bureau level reporting
features and tax functions, and working with the ACH and other features. The
Tax Service Manager, which houses the impounding and escrow account management
functions, also tracks due dates and offers the option to sweep liabilities
from a company’s accounts to a service bureau account. Throughout the
program, hot keys aid in navigation, and function-specific Help options are
available using the F-1 key or Help menu.
