It would be nice to have the ability to print Payroll Checks or Generate ACH files later.

It should be designed similar to the AP module where you can enter in the Expenses and pay the Vendors later. The reason for this is that the GL and any other module such as Job Cost is understated until payroll is processed.

We have a customer that uses Job Cost and their Jobs are understated for a week or two since Payroll is must be processed to record the labor expenses. If they enter the Payroll transactions each day, the check must be printed or an ACH file is generated. If they do not, their Job Cost and General Ledger is understated. The work around is enter in Job Cost Entry and then Payroll. The problem with this is double entry (enter in Job Cost and the employee is not tagged to the transaction) then enter in to Payroll as a summary with any Job Cost information. The other issue, is that reports in Payroll are off, there is not record of which Job/Cost Code the employee worked on.

Ideally, it would be nice to enter in Payroll and have it post the transactions in Job Cost and Payroll without printing a check. This would give the customer updated Job Cost and General Ledger information. Afterward, when its time to pay the employees, it would be nice to be able to select them for payment like the AP module (Invoice Payment Selection).
