Take Control of Your Payroll Processing
  
PBS™ Payroll is an easy to use, on-premise payroll software for small businesses and medium sized companies.

Take control of your payroll processing:
  • ACH Direct Deposit and email paystubs to employees (encrypted). Deposits can be made to multiple financial institutions, and each employee can have amounts directly deposited in up to fifteen bank accounts.
  • Handles hourly, salaried and non-employee (1099 type) pay on daily, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, and quarterly pay frequencies.
  • You can make after-posting corrections which provides the flexibility to adjust wages, deductions and other check related items.
  • Provides the ability to cancel a full batch of checks and then re-issue them. (Doesn’t happen often but when it does this is a life-saver.)
 
Integrate PBS Payroll with PBS Check Reconciliation, General Ledger and/or Job Cost, or run stand-alone.

PDF Printing Technology in PBS™

Written by Bruce Meyer, a Passport Partner.

Passport has provided sample converted formats for the basic invoices in AR, OE, and CO. So, some of the formats are already changed. Your control files will just need to be pointed to the new formats.

Why Change???
1. You can stop paying for pre-printed invoice forms.
2. Rid yourself of expensive, slow, and noisy dot matrix printers (that are no longer supported.)
3. Eliminate PCL5 laser compatibility issues.
4. Use blank paper stock to create GORGEOUS invoices with:
  • Multiple fonts & sizes
  • Colors
  • 3D boxes
  • Logos
  • Multiple copies
  • And more!

If you have customized invoice formats, it may take a little longer to convert, but I was able to convert my standard, custom invoice in about an hour. And there are LOTS of special effects available: background colors, 3D boxes, different sized and colored fonts, floating or fixed totals, and much more. The color output looks fabulous!

These features may take some time to implement, but once they are done, you won't have to touch them again, and you will have a Beautiful New Invoice format that will print on any printer that can print PDFs!
Tips and Tricks #24 Purging - Everything You Wanted to Know, But Were Afraid to Ask

PSI’s support department is sometimes tasked with helping a client to do an upgrade and we find, not infrequently, a hundred thousand and more vendor history records that must be converted i.e., read and rewritten, because that file has infrequently been purged or has never been purged at all. This can dramatically increase conversion and update times. For many people this issue is somewhat tinged with worry – what if I need that data? This, of course is a legitimate question. And to some, the safe answer is to never purge data. Read more

Chicken Piccata
A go-to dish - it's easy, it's fast and it's delicious! Slices of chicken get dredged in seasoned flour, sautéed in butter, and smothered in an addictively tangy lemon-butter pan sauce studded with salty capers

A perfect side, that couldn't be easier...

And of course, some fun cocktail ideas...
