Time and Expense Reports Confusion with payroll

SUGGESTED

2 Questions: 

1. I have Sage 50 Cloud. I want to track employee time and some minor expenses for jobs ( lots of small jobs). I would also like the cost of that labor to be included in my P/ L for each job. However I want to put payroll through ADP and I don't want to deal with the payroll module. Do I have to use the payroll module / enter taxes etc?  I am not exactly sure what I need to set up and what the " flow chart " of this process will look like exactly. If I get a few pointers I'm pretty sure I can figure out the rest. I currently enter my payroll in the G/J and see where I can put the jobs in for the employee pay if needed. Any help is MUCH appreciated. 

2. No remittance advice for when I send an ACH to a vendor so they know what invoices I have paid? 

Thanks ! 

  • I would use the Job numbers on all transactions. Enter job costs in the vendor section with the job iD.    If you have Quantum, you can track all of this on the job management page.  If you don't have Quantum and want to see a demo of what you are missing, please feel free to reach out.  We sell Sage 50 and I could even get you pricing for an upgrade.

    Kind regards,

    I used a PEO for over 20 years and never used the payroll module.  What I did was make a spreadsheet for each employee that listed each job and the hours.  Once I received the payroll reports from my PEO I would then figure out the amount of each hour for each employee and post it as a very large invoice to my PEO.  I included all costs such as w.comp, 401k, health insurance and what ever fees charged by the PEO.  Honestly once you figure it out the first time it will become much easier.  I use job costing for every project we have so it makes it easier to post the costs to the jobs at the same time as entering the invoice from the PEO.  Good luck.
