Step 14: Print Payroll Journal and Post to G/L

After each payroll is processed and before you can create payroll for the following pay period, you must print the Payroll Journal and post it to the General Ledger.

In addition to posting the withholdings and amounts paid to employees in summary form to the General Ledger, Costpoint also posts, by employee, the amounts paid and the leave taken and accrued to the Employee Earnings table. Fringe benefits (such as employer FICA, FUTA, SUTA, and Employer contributions) are also posted to the General Ledger and to Employee Earnings at this time.
