Assessment and Analysis: Payroll and Human Resources


Key Objectives
1. Improve accounting for wages and benefits to programs in new accounting system
2. Generate more informative reporting such as hours spent managing programs
3. Maintain Payroll and Human Resources related documents in one secure, backed up environment

Current Processes

1. Employees’ time is captures in a Filemaker database.


2. Pay periods are semi-monthly, the 1st thru 15th and the 15th thru end-of- month.
3. Payroll is processed the 10th and 25th of the month, prior to the completion of the pay periods.
4. Payroll is processed by ADP with SSC doing the data entry of employee changes, time entry, etc.
5. Since ADP processes the payroll prior to completion of the pay period, it is assumed that a full pay period has been
worked by each employee.
6. Because the pay period is not complete when ADP processes payroll, the financial accounting needed is not
generated by the payroll process.
7. After the pay period is complete, Dale creates the financial accounting information by extracting employee time
from the Filemaker database, using it to generate the allocation of payroll expenses to the proper departments
and programs. The allocated payroll entry is then posted as a general journal entry.
8. Employee demographic details, wage and benefit details, evaluations and required documentation/forms are
maintained in several locations, in paper and electronic form as well as with ADP.
9. SSC prepares their own 1095s.

Key Reports and Extracts


1. Wages and benefits to departments and programs
2. Employee demographics and federal and state required documentation

Initial Data to be Converted and/or Imported


1. Employee demographic and pay and benefit information can be imported by HBS from an Excel of CSV file
populated by SSC staff
2. Employee forms and documents can be attached to the employee record from the existing electronic documents

Phase 1 Recommendations
1. Continue to outsource payroll processing to ADP
a. Change the payroll check date to allow for the pay period to be completed before payroll check are
processed. The will reduce the risk of paying employees for hours which were not yet worked.
b. Provide the employee hours worked by program to ADP. This will allow ADP to provide reporting of the
financial accounting distributions, eliminating the need to create the allocated payroll journal entry in
Excel.
c. Use the Payroll Connect functionality in GP to retrieve the allocated payroll entry from ADP eliminating
the need to enter the lengthy journal entry

2. Maintain employee demographic and pay and benefit information in GP’s secure, backed up environment in a
consistent, organized manner. This would allow SSC to prepare from 1095 in GP as well

Heartland Business Systems, LLC Page 9 of 16

Phase 2 Recommendation
Purchase the JAT Payroll Interface product which provides a bi-directional interface of payroll and human resource
information and transactions between ADP and GP. This would allow for employee changes (e.g. wage increase, W-4
change) to be entered in one product affecting both products. This also allows for completed payroll check details with final
accounting distributions.

Assessment and Analysis: Payables


Key Objectives
1. Reduce data entry time for invoices with allocations
2. Reduce data entry time for charges made with company credit cards
3. Generate electronic processing of vendor payments to save time and fees
4. Automate employee reimbursements for travel expenses

Current Processes
1. Vendor invoices approved by Program Managers and are manually entered in accounting system.
2. Verizon expense allocations are done in Excel prior to invoice entry. The Verizon allocation changes each month
based on hours worked within programs. The distributions are then entered into with the invoice based on the
allocation. Additional expense allocations are needed for several other vendor invoices but are more simplistic
than the Verizon allocation.
3. Charges on the BMO credit are entered as a single invoice due to BMO credit card vendor.
4. Check runs are processed from the Operating Checkbook for all invoices, other than those on hold, on the 15th and
last day of the month.
5. Blank checks stock is used. Mekorma is used to print the electronic signature and MICR coding on the checks.
6. Invoices from vendors that provide both taxable and nontaxable services on a single invoice need to be entered as
multiple invoices.
7. 1099s are processed by SSC.

Key Reports and Extracts


1. Payments of Bills by Account
2. All Bills by Vendor
3. 1099s

Initial Data to be Converted and/or Imported


1. An updated vendor list will be provided by Dale in Excel or CSV format and imported by HBS
2. Dale will maintain the existing system for one year for inquiry of transactions.
3. Dale will maintain 15 years of transaction detail in PDF format for inquiry purposes.

Heartland Business Systems, LLC Page 11 of 16


1700 Stephen Street
Little Chute, WI 54140
www.hbs.net

Phase 1 Recommendations
1. Create a consistent Vendor ID strategy for ease of use
2. Use Vendor Classes to group similar vendors for inquiry and reporting
3. Use default GL accounts on vendor records to populate consistent expense accounts on invoices eliminating the
need for manual entry of GL accounts on each invoice
4. Utilize GP’s electronic payments to reduce costs and eliminate the process of entering the ACH’s in current system
and on the bank’s website
5. Utilize GP’s Fixed and Variable allocation accounts for specific vendor invoices
6. Utilize GP’s Credit Card functionality to record purchases made by credit card to the appropriate vendors. Credit
card charges could be downloaded from BMO and imported into GP as payable invoices.
7. Utilize GP’s Document Attachment functionality to attach documents (contracts) to vendors and vendor
transactions
8. Utilize GP’s Scheduled Payments functionality for calculating lease payments and creating related payable invoices.
9. Utilize recurring invoices for non-invoiced purchases such as rent, loan payments, etc.
10. Utilize GP’s Positive (Safe) Pay for protection against check fraud by confirming a check’s authenticity

Phase 2 Recommendation
Purchase/Implement an expense reporting product to provide employees with a remote/web-based method to submit
their travel expenses, allocating them to the proper departments and programs and upload receipts.

a. Workshop attendee demographics (both employee and employer), registration info and credit card
payments for workshop activity
b. Customer demographics, rental activity and credit card payments for meeting center rental customers
c. Membership statuses for discounts
d. Rental room rates (20-25 rooms, 3 rates), service fees, catered food sales/purchases, etc.

Risk Identification & Project Estimate


Assessment of Risks:

The integrations between the Filemaker databases and GP is an area of risk. Concerns are:

1. Availability of SSC staff to complete development and testing before the busy time.

keep the systems in sync.

Project Estimate:

We quote the services estimate for the implementation phase (Phase 1) covered by this document to be 512 hours range at
rate of $195/hour. Services will be billed on a time and materials basis and invoiced monthly. Options for prepaid discounts
are available upon request. Travel expenses are not included in this estimate and include one-way travel from our Little
Chute, WI office per visit, and will be invoiced at the hourly rate.
