SECTION
7.2.6 – EMPLOYEES MENU
If you intend to run the payroll system, you will
need to create Employees. This menu leads to programs that allow you to
manipulate the Employee master-file. Here you may view, add, change or remove
Employees. No transactions can be created from programs included in this menu.
To run the payroll you must use the PAYROLL
option, see SECTION
6.3.4. Similarly, if you intend to run the TIME SHEET entry routine in the Job Costing sub-system, you will
need to create the Employees here.
The Employee file also has fields that allow it to
be used as a simple personnel file.
The EMPLOYEE
MENU is accessed as item 6 on the TABLE MAINTENANCE MENU. On selecting this menu the following screen
will be displayed:
To return to the TABLE MAINTENANCEMENU, press <ESC>.
Fields available on the EMPLOYEE MASTER file.

EMPLOYEE CODE This is a number from 1 to 99. It is assigned by HiFinance
and is the code by which the Employee will be referenced throughout HiFinance.
NAME This is the Employee’s full name. It may be up to
50 character long. This field will appear on any cheques printed. This is a
compulsory field.
ADDRESS This is a collection of 3 address areas with a separate
field for postcode. If you have entered a post-code in the provided field, it
is best to insert the suburb and state in the third line. This will produce a
cleaner looking address print, eg in cheques. The address is not compulsory.
EMERGENCY CONTACT This is an optional field, which might be useful in case of an
emergency.
PHONES This is a collection of four optional fields that allow
you to separately insert numbers for Work, Home, Fax and Mobile.

DATE STARTED You must enter the date this Employee started working for your
organization.

also enter a note describing the details of the departure. When a date is
entered here, HiFinance will skip the Employee during a pay run.
POST SUPER TO This must correspond to a Creditor on the Creditor master-file.
Any superannuation payable on behalf of the Employee will be posted to that
Creditor.
POST TAX TO This must correspond to a Creditor on the Creditor master-file. Any
taxation payable on behalf of the Employee will be posted to that Creditor.
NORMAL HOURS This is the normal number of hours the employee works. It may
be left as zero. In either case, it can be over-ridden during the pay run.
NORMAL RATE/HR This is the normal pay rate per hour. It is a compulsory field.

HOURS figure,
you may also enter a value for normal tax. This must not be greater than the product of NORMAL HOURS and NORMAL RATE/HR.

of the Employee. It may be entered as an absolute amount or as a percentage of
income.

information about the employee. This field must contain something once an
