Payroll

iTCCS Payroll is designed to ease district payroll tasks associated with paying employees, producing mandated reports, and expensing all payroll associated costs. The Payroll application produces paychecks, which are based on accurate gross salaries, deductions, and resultant net pay amounts for each employee. It also allows you to produce regular paychecks during a standard pay run, void checks, and issue individual checks. The application has provisions for producing supplemental pay runs and adjusting budget codes and leave for previous payrolls. It provides all mandated reports and expenses payroll costs to the iTCCS Finance general ledger.

The advantages of iTCCS Payroll include allowing the user to input data in a logical, consistent fashion, and then producing accurate paychecks automatically. First, all district options are set, and table maintenance is conducted. These procedures establish criteria that are the same for all employees or for all employees of a given description. Individual employee data is then entered to provide additional information needed to ensure that each paycheck is accurate. 

In producing paychecks for each employee, the application takes into account gross pay, deductions, leave taken, Teacher Retirement System contributions, workers' compensation amounts, federal income tax, unemployment tax, and a wide range of other factors that determine the net pay amount. All federal and state reporting is provided such as TRS, TWC Quarterly reports, and W-2 reporting. As with all iTCCS applications, the Payroll application is PEIMS compliant.

The Payroll application offers many extras such as leave sequencing, leave accounting for the teacher and substitute, automatic generation of payroll liability checks, savings bond processing, direct deposit processing, EFT file transmissions, interfacing from third-party time-keeping systems, numerous inquiry screens, paycheck simulation, mass updates, payroll accruals, payroll check reconciliation, and the ability to create and work in a next year payroll area without affecting the current year payrolls.
