Vista 7 Payroll is an ongoing project at PDS to enhance all
of the Payroll functionality offered with Vista. This includes behind the
scenes technical updates, as well as front end enhancements to make your
payrolls faster and your life easier.
Process improvements
Vista 7 Payroll includes a slew of enhancements that will
reduce processing time and simplify running payroll. The Payroll Update Phase has been made obsolete by our new and updated
payroll engine, which will reduce processing time significantly. Additionally,
the new Payroll Queue feature will
make sure we only spend time processing employees if their payroll setup has
changed. These and many other features will save you time, and we know time is
money!
Simplified maintenance
By consolidating all of our payroll accumulator data into
Pay History, we have removed the requirement to create and maintain year-end or
quarter-end environments. This coupled with our new effective-dated tax
processing will allow you to work out of a single production environment and
save your IT department time!
New features
There are plenty of new features available in Vista 7
Payroll to give you more control over payroll calculations and better insight
into the results of payroll processing.
- Pay period calendars are now integrated into
batch header setup to make every pay cycle easier to configure - The new Generic
Tax, Defined Contribution, and Garnishment Rule setup tables provide
much more control over specific taxes, retirement deductions, and wage
attachments. - Our Current
Pay pages give you immediate access to Payroll processing results, without
leaving the Vista application!
Stay tuned!
In future posts, we will drill down into specific features and enhancements. If you’re live on Vista 7 and interested in volunteering for the Vista 7 Payroll Beta, please log in to the PDS Service Center. Create a new Customer Support ticket and select “Vista 7 Payroll Beta Request” from the Application field. PDS will provide the beta documentation and additional components needed to participate in an early review of Vista 7 payroll.
