Ace Payroll interfaces with all known banking systems in New Zealand.

To interface with the banking system you use, firstly select Direct Credits from the front screen, then click the Setup button.

If your banking system requires a clearance date, this field is used to prompt you with a default clearance date. If your pay period ends on a Sunday, and the direct credits are processed the following Thursday, set this to 4, being the number of days between the period end and payment date.

Then when Ace Payroll prompts you for a clearance date, the correct date is requested by default being the pay period end date plus the offset entered here.

Each direct credit paid to your employee is itemised on their payslip. The default is to put the words 'Direct Credit' next to the amount on the payslip. The bank account number can be printed on the payslip using this option.

Some banks allow you to define the name of the direct credit data file.

Some banks allow you to define the extension of the direct credit data file.

Select the full path for your direct credit files. If using one of the diskette systems, simply click the button for Diskette A:

For the other systems select the path required by that system.

Note that whilst Ace Payroll Technical Support staff can assist you with the input of the path they have no knowledge of what the path should be.

This information is provided by the Support Staff of your electronic banking system.

Enter here the Batch Number given to you by your bank.

If you do not pay any wages in cash, you may want to turn the nett pay rounding feature off for all your employees. This means that instead of rounding nett pays to the denomination of a coin or note that you can pay in cash, they will be exact to the cent.

If you turn off rounding here it will apply to every employee and you will have problems if any employees are paid in cash.
