Payroll Enhancements

Suggestions to improve the payroll process:

1) Add total hours for each employee for reviewing during the draft process. There is a total for OT $, Pay $ Actual Pay $ but not total hours

2) When using Print & Export, ALL employees are exported, not just the employees who were selected. Can just the selected employees be included in the Print & Export?

3) When selecting Save/Draft Payroll Batch for Later use, ALL employees are saved in the draft, not just the employees who were selected. Can just the selected employees be included in the Save/Draft Batch?

4) Travel time has several issues:

(a) On CS360 Payroll Batch, the Pay Amount ($) includes travel time, not just the Pay Amount ($) for the client's visit. Can Travel Pay be listed as a separate line item?

(b) When the payroll is exported to Excel, Travel Time is listed separately but the amount of travel time is listed under Total Pay Units (correct), Pay Amount (incorrect) and Actual Pay Amount (incorrect). For example, if an employee has 30 minutes of travel time @ Pay Rate $7.25, 0.50 is under Total Pay Units (correct), $0.50 is under Pay Amount (should be $3.63) and $0.50 is under Actual Pay Amount (should be $3.63). Needs to be corrected.

(c) When the payroll is exported to Excel, if an employee has travel time, the travel pay is incorrectly added to the client care Pay Amount instead of being listed separately (actually, travel time is included in client care Pay Amount & ALSO as separate line item - see (d)). For example, on 1 day caregiver visits 2 clients 5 hours each for a total of 10 hours of client pay @ $10.00/hr & travel time between clients of 30 minutes. For the clients, Total Pay Units are 5 hours each (correct, as travel time should be separate line item) but Pay Amount for 2nd client is $53.63 (should be $50.00 with $3.63 on the travel line item). Please remove travel pay from client pay.

(d) When the payroll is exported to Excel, if an employee has travel time, the travel time is not included in the Caregiver Totals row. For example, if an employee has 30 hours of client care for the pay period @ $10.00/hr and 0.50 of travel time @ $7.25/hr, the Caregiver Total row reflects Total Pay Units 30 hours (should be 30.5 hours) and Actual Pay Amount $300.00 (should be $306.63). Can travel time be included in the Caregiver Total row?

(e) When the payroll is exported to Excel, if an employee has a mileage reimbursement (for gas reimbursement - not travel time between clients), the mileage reimbursement $ is included in the Actual Pay Amount row (incorrect). Mileage is a reimbursement, not a taxable wage (which is what the Actual Pay Amount SHOULD be - taxable wages). Please correct so that mileage reimbursement is NOT included in Actual Pay Amount.
