BEI Payroll Pricing, Setup, and Best Practices

Top 7 Features of BEI Payroll and How to Use Them

1. Automated payroll processing

• What it does: Calculates gross pay, deductions, taxes, and net pay automatically.
• How to use: Set up pay schedules, employee pay rates and deduction rules once; run scheduled or ad-hoc payroll runs and review the pre-submit audit before finalizing.

2. Tax calculation and filing

• What it does: Applies current federal, state, and local tax tables and can prepare or file returns.
• How to use: Enter company tax IDs and filing preferences, enable automated tax updates, and choose e-file or manual review for each return.

3. Direct deposit and payment options

• What it does: Sends wages via ACH/direct deposit; supports paper checks and pay cards.
• How to use: Collect employee bank details in secure ESS, verify micro‑deposits if required, and select payment method at payroll run.

4. Time tracking integration

• What it does: Imports hours from time clocks/timesheets (or built‑in timekeeping) to remove manual entry and calculate overtime.
• How to use: Connect your timekeeping system or enable BEI’s time module, map pay codes, approve timesheets, then sync to payroll.

5. Employee self‑service (ESS)

• What it does: Lets employees view pay stubs, tax forms, update personal info, and request PTO.
• How to use: Enable ESS access, invite employees, set permissions, and provide onboarding steps (verify direct deposit, W‑4, bank info).

6. Reporting & analytics

• What it does: Generates payroll journals, labor cost reports, tax liability summaries, and customizable exports for accounting.
• How to use: Use built‑in templates for common reports, set scheduled report delivery, and export GL mappings to your accounting system.

7. Compliance & audit features

• What it does: Maintains audit trails, stores tax forms (W‑2/1099), supports new‑hire reporting and wage garnishments.
• How to use: Keep employee records up to date, enable automatic new‑hire/state reporting, review audit logs before year‑end, and configure garnishment rules per case.
