  35. Pay Types • Pay Types Examples – R for Regular (straigh time), O for Overtime, etc. • If using outsourced payroll, will want to match to payroll earnings codes

  36. Leave Types • Leave Rules from Handbook or Policy Manual

  37.

  40. Trade Codes (Optional) • Trade codes used for worker’s comp tracking • Sometimes used for union info

  41. Employee Numbers • Do you currently use Employee ID numbers? • Do you have employee ID numbers assigned from an outsourced payroll service? • Generally recommend 6 digit numeric, starting with a 1 unless numbers are already assigned • NOTE: if you have subs or consultants, we may set up payroll ids to track their labor costs

  42. Timesheet Dates and Pay Days • What is your timesheet cutoff? • What is the start and end day of your timesheet week? • What was the last timesheet and payroll cycle? Note: Setup Pay Periods to work within the Accounting Period

  43. Special Coding for Outsourced Payroll • If you use ADP or Paychex • Make the GCS employee IDs match ADP/Paychex IDs • Minimal data in GCS (no SS#, no taxes, no deductions) • Recommend that we do leave calculations in GCS so it exports to Time Collection • Hours recorded in Time Collection – Imported to GCS – computes Gross Pay by employee • GCS Creates an Interface File that can be uploaded • Must record a “dummy check” for issuance of payroll (credit cash, debit payroll tax expense, etc.) • Run a Dummy Payroll in GCS to get leave accruals computed • Will not need the “GL Info Link” set up

  44. Contract & Billing Information Section 4

  45. Contract Revenue Summary

  46. Job Summary Report

  47. Contract Numbering Considerations • How do you number your jobs currently? • Do you have a list of jobs with contract value, start and end date, etc. • How are job numbers used on timesheets and other documents? • Do you have jobs with a main contract number with tasks, delivery orders or clins? • Do you have separate funding for labor, travel and materials? • Do you bill G&A on Travel and other direct costs? • Do you want numbering to identify groups of clients, type of work, programs? • Do you need Bid & Proposal numbers?

  48. Contract Types & Revenue Recognition • Contract Types • T&M – hours with billing rates • Fixed Price – monthly amounts, milestones, % completion methods • Cost Plus – what % fee; fee ceiling or no fee applied, award fee, fee withholding • Revenue Recognition • Revenue computed and posted independently of Billing • Multiple methods based on Contract Types above

  49. Billing • What are the billing cycles on your jobs? • Are you producing billings in Excel? • What do your billings look like – format and what information? • What detail is on your billing? Names, labor categories, travel info? • What is your approval process for sending bills? • What bills do you submit electronically? • Who prepares the billings and when? • Are you using Excel 2007?

  50. History for Cost and Billing • Do you have spreadsheets or reports with cumulative billed and by fiscal year? • Do your labor billing rates change with a contract year? • What are your provisional billing rates? • How much cost detail do you have and how much do you want to load in history? • By employee, by labor category, hours and labor cost • Direct Costs plus applied Overhead and G&A • Profit and total revenue or billing amounts
