Entering Employee Info |
|||||
Entering Payee Data When you first start using the MacNail construction accounting software, type in the names of your employees, suppliers, and subcontractors in the columns provided for them in the Master Index. NOTE-- Goldenseal construction accounting software is the successor to MacNail, which we retired in 2000. Goldenseal is an integrated business management program that includes general accounting, job costing, payroll and project billing, plus construction cost estimating, contract writing and simple scheduling. It uses Employee accounts, which are an expansion of the employee info in MacNail. Each item that you enter will be given the code numbers (far left) for that line. You can also type in each of your current projects. Each project has its own number, shown in the column to its immediate left. Employee names Enter the names of each of your employees (and any subcontracted labor that you pay on an hourly basis) into the Labor column. The code number for each employee is the number in the same row, in the code column (far left). WARNING: Make sure you do not have two identical names in this column. It will cause problems later on when updating your payroll files. Employee Wage Rates Enter the wage rate (in dollars per hour) for each employee in the
Wage column. An employee who is paid two different wage rates (e.g. non-union and union scale) should be entered as two separate employees, each with a separate wage rate. The two sets of hours will be combined in the Payroll Report (see page 114). Employee Wage Burden Enter a 'burden' multiplier in the Brdn (burden)
column. This number will account for the employer portion of FICA, Workman's Comp, unemployment, and
any employer-paid benefits. If the total additional cost is 18% of the wage rate, for example, type in 1.18,
Subcontract labor should get 1.0 in this column.
You may also want to use 1.0 for yourself if you are self-employed. |
