General Features  

UNLIMITED employees for £100 + VAT, with a monthly support fee of £10 + VAT which includes annual updates.

The key features of the PY2 payroll software are as follows:

• PY2 allows an unlimited number of employees and different rates of pay
• Employees can be paid weekly or monthly, at either an hourly rate or a basic pay amount. They can also be calculated on a single or multiple period basis, e.g. if a weekly paid employee goes on holiday and is paid in advance
• A payment and deduction rate maintenance system allows you to create unlimited number of rates, either percentages or values, based on 15 basic rate types including overtime, pensions, loans, tax credits, SSP, SMP, Directors NI, SPP, SAP etc. If a specific rate is changed, then each employee that uses that rate will automatically use the revised date
• Monthly charges to any of the rates for an employee can be made before the payslips are calculated using the Time Sheet Posting program
• Payslips can be previewed before they are actually posted allowing you to check final figures and that all necessary adjustments have been made.
• An add-on module allows up to 30 different companies to be run on PY2, each of which can post to the nominal ledger of any Snip or Chancellor company database
• A company can have up to 40 departments, allowing you to break down your workforce into logical groups of employees such as sales, accounts, factory etc.
• When linked to a Snip or Chancellor nominal ledger, each department can be used to update individual nominal accounts and departments.
• PY2 provides extensive reporting including filtering by employee or department. You can view extensive pay and tax history for employees, including P11 and P14 tables. As with all our packages we can create custom reports for you should they be required.
• A comprehensive employee maintenance program provides all the key payroll information as well as a wide range of Human Resource Management (HRM) information including holidays, sickness, appraisals, disciplinary action and training.
• A flexible user access program with passwords controls access to all parts of the software
• A back-up and restore program allows each company to be backed up individually
• PY2 includes all year-end procedures and reports, including printing P14/P60s.
• Calculation of gross pay from a required net amount e.g. when you want to pay an employee a specific, net, bonus amount.
• Multi-part security payslips for dot-matrix printers
• Download and Update any Legislative changes (such as TAX & NI Bands and NI Thresholds, usually effective in April and June) directly from within PY2.
