How do I create a Payroll Batch?

CircuiTree’s Staff Module allows you to create payroll batches that include data from the following sources

  • W4 tax information
  • Bank account information for Direct Deposit
  • Deductions for time off requests
  • Manual credits and deductions
  • Charges from Staff member in SalesLink.

The resulting batch can be uploaded to a third party payment processor to include payroll taxes as well as directly deposit checks into an employee’s account.
