Cumulatives - Mid Year Set up

 
BEFORE PROCEEDING PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SCREEN CAREFULLY.
 

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SECTIONS ON THE PAYROLL SOFTWARE. THE INFORMATION YOU ENTER FOR EACH EMPLOYEE WILL DETERMINE THE PAYE, PRSI & USC THEY WILL PAY DURING THE TAX YEAR.

This section is only used if you have chosen to do a Mid Year Set up i.e. if you start using Thesaurus Payroll Manager mid tax year (other than from the 1st January).

It is important to note that PRSI is not calculated on a cumulative basis and so is therefore not subject to the same checks and balances given to amounts entered each pay period. To that end please ensure that the cumulative details for each employee are correct before proceeding.
