CNF SCREEN 1

The PAYROLL CANADA system comprises three main programs.  These can be run
by typing their names at the DOS prompt and pressing Enter.   However, many
people prefer to use Menu's so we have provided one.   This Menu screen is
from PAYMENU.COM which should reside on the same Drive:\Directory\ as the
Payroll Programs it is intended to run.

CNF SCREEN 2

If it is not on the right Directory you will get this screen when you try to
run a PAYROLL CANADA program from the Menu.  We will assume that the
PAYCNFED.COM program is available and take a look at the screens from it.
(if run from the Menu all programs return to the Menu when they terminate
so you can use it to transfer from one program to another )

CNF SCREEN 3

The remainder of the PAYROLL CANADA system works on either Mono or Colour Cards
The PAYCNFED.COM program is used to set up (customise) the system to your
requirements.  This set up is stored in the PAYROLL.CNF file and is read in
each time the system is run so it only needs to be done once (unless you wish
to change something).  This and the next few screens are from PAYCNFED.COM

CNF SCREEN 4

This is the main menu of PAYCNFED.COM .  You can go directly to the area you
wish to change without having to through the whole thing again.  The first
time you use the system the Disk\Directory and the Copy Test File options will
be forced on you.  If you do not access the other options they will be
set to our defaults, O.K. for testing, but they may not be what you want.

CNF SCREEN 5

This screen explains why two directories are needed (even if using floppies)
and provides a means to input your choice of names.  If the directories do
not currently exist they will be automatically created when you leave this
screen so if you are using floppies be sure to have the blank formatted disk
you intend to use for employee files in the selected drive.

CNF SCREEN 6

This screen provides an alternative to the DOS COPY for those who wish to use
it.   It ensures your supplied test file ends up in the right place.  It has
a few bells and whistles that the DOS COPY does not have and will create
the right directory if it doesnt already exist.  The bottom of the screen
(hidden by this text) asks for the location of the source.

CNF SCREEN 7

We provided a reset option to get you back to our defaults, but we warn you
first that you will lose your own settings and give you a chance to decide
whether to proceed or not.



CNF SCREEN 8

If you have a colour card but are using a monochrome monitor colours from any
program will usually look awful.  You can suppress them with the DOS MODE.COM
program by typing MODE BW80 at the DOS prompt.  If this has been done (or if
you have a Mono Card) then PAYCNFED will refuse access to the colour choices.
Select PAYDEMO F3 Choice to see Colour Setup.

CNF SCREEN 9

This is the introduction to the "OTHER" type prompts.   Please read it.
We will look at these next.




CNF SCREEN 10

We provided a means for you to customise certain screen prompts, and also to
customise what will be printed for those prompts on reports.  We provided
prompts for most popular items, here you can make up your own to cover
anything that is special to your Company.


CNF SCREEN 11

The "Other Deductions" may be a flat dollar amount, or can be based on a
percentage of actual or taxable pay.  If based on a percentage then you
may also specify an annual ceiling at which deductions will cease.  If there
is no upper limit, then enter one that will never be reached, eg 999999.00.


CNF SCREEN 12

You may customise many employee pay calculations.  This is the menu to choose
which (or all).




CNF SCREEN 13

Here is the window for setting hours per year for salaried overtime.  The
figure to enter is usually hours per day times days per week times weeks per
year, eg. 7 x 5 x 52 = 1820 .  Enter whatever is appropriate to your office
environment.   It is used to derive an equivalent hourly rate for salaried
people which is then increased by the applicable overtime multiplier.

CNF SCREEN 14

Here you may enter Shift Rates.  If you do not pay based on Shifts, then
be sure that all employee hours are entered on the regular (i.e. not shift)
lines on the employee update.  You may leave this screen alone or set the
shift rates to 0.00 which will stop overpayment should you use the wrong
line for employee hours entry.  Shift premiums apply to shift overtime also.

CNF SCREEN 15

If on the employee update screens you show the employee Vacation Accrual
Percentage as greater than 0 then a fund is maintained.  Each pay the
fund is incremented by the specified percentage, and if vacation hours are
entered the cost of those hours is deducted from that fund.  This is not
an employee deduction, it is paid for entirely by the employer.

CNF SCREEN 16

If on the employee update screens you show the employee Sick Accrual
Percentage as greater than 0 then a fund is maintained.  Each pay the
fund is incremented by the specified percentage, and if sick hours are
entered the cost of those hours is deducted from that fund.  This is not
an employee deduction, it is paid for entirely by the employer.

CNF SCREEN 17

This is a place to store information about your Company.  The name entered here
is used in all reports, the name and address is used on the T4's.  The Phone
No. and RevCan numbers are not currently used, but they might be in the future
and it seemed a good idea to reserve a space for them here. The UIC multiplier
is used to calculate the Company contribution from the Employee contribution.
