Employee Manager
Welcome to the Employee Manager module, your comprehensive solution for managing employee details, tracking significant dates, and streamlining payroll processes. This module is designed to help you efficiently manage your workforce by keeping track of hire dates, birthdays, review dates, pay rates, and more. By accurately setting up your employees with their pay rates, you can effortlessly track hours worked and automatically job cost. Additionally, this module allows for seamless integration with QuickBooks, enabling you to push employee hours directly to QuickBooks for payroll processing. Let's dive into how you can maximize the benefits of the Employee Manager module.
Getting Started with Employee Manager
To begin, you'll need to enter your employees into the Employee Manager. Here's how you can do it:
Adding New Employees: Click on "New" to add an employee. You'll be prompted to fill in all the necessary information. Ensure you complete each field to maintain accurate records.
Viewing or Editing Employee Details: To view or edit an employee's details, highlight the employee's name and select "Open" on the top toolbar or double-click on the name. This action allows you to review and modify any information as needed.
To ensure accurate time tracking and to avoid errors, it's crucial to specify the "Overtime Type" for each employee.
General Information
Enter Employee Information: Start by entering the basic details of your employees.
Linking to e-manage|ONE Users: If applicable, attach employees to e-manage|ONE users for integrated functionality.
Salesperson and Installer Assignment: Attach employees to their respective roles (e.g., salesperson to salesperson, installer to installer) as applicable. If the employee does not appear in the dropdown list, refer to the https://emanageone.atlassian.net/l/cp/JMfRvs0W section for setup instructions.
Pay Schedule: Establish a pay schedule for each employee. Remember, only one default pay schedule should exist, which will be the default on the time clock.
Pay / OT Rates
Hourly Employees: For those paid by the hour, create a Pay Schedule matching the QuickBooks Item Name for each schedule available.
Salary Employees: Calculate the Actual / OT / hr rate by dividing the annual salary by 2080 hours and adding the percentage for taxes and benefits. For example, a $36,000 salary equates to an actual employee cost per hour of $21.64 when factored with additional costs.
Note: Pay rates in e-manage|ONE must also be entered in QuickBooks as they do not automatically sync.
