RE: Payroll

Ted,

I'm curious about the "other corporate issues..." and how they are impacting
your decisions.

We use MDCC/PMC to get labor to the MO's. We don't have the MAPICS payroll
package, so we print Time and Attendance reports from PMC records and
manually enter them into ADP. (I have the code from our sister company to
electronically transfer TA to ADP, but at the moment we are still having
accuracy issues with the TA data - a lot of manual cleanup before time gets
entered in ADP. I do "backup" the TRDATA file whenever a prepare is done -
otherwise the TA transactions disappear because we don't have the Payroll
module.)

This gets the labor time to the MO's (and into the correct GL buckets);
payroll GL transactions are entered manually by the payroll clerk. The nice
thing about using PMC is that we don't have one procedure for temps and a
separate procedure for permanent employees - everyone does the same thing
and the payroll clerk separates the regular and the temps for their weekly
processing. (Our temps are hired and paid through several temp agencies.)
Yeah, it is more manual than we would like, but it is working for us and
that's the most important consideration. (Besides, our payroll clerk likes
the job security! ;-) )

Hello.

We recently began using ADP for Payroll.  We work like to do the minimul
amount of work necessary to get costs to the MO's.  We would also like to
capture costs for temporary employees.  We think that we can do this by just
processing employees time related to MO's via payroll [to PCC].  

Has anyone crossed this bridge before?  A number of years ago, we used to
export a file to ADP (we left ADP and returned because of a few different
owners), but that will not work for us this time because there are other
corporate issues we don't want to have to deal with with mapics.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks
