The POLYGON PAYROLL module reached end of life on 30 June 2021 and this was communicated to all clients licensed with this module.
This module is no longer supported.
Historical transactions may be accessed although entry of new payslips is no longer possible.
To streamline the process of paying employees, Polygon Payroll includes a direct entry payroll feature which generates a Direct Entry file. This file can be uploaded to banks which then make the appropriate payments to your employees.
Passing Direct Entry Payroll Files to your Bank
When the payroll entries for all Direct Entry employees have been made:
•Access the Reports File by selecting Reports from the main menu or using the Reports button on the toolbar;
•Highlight the Direct Entry File - Payroll report under the Polygon Payroll heading and then click the Select button;
•The Direct Entry File Details Window will be displayed.
•Enter the payroll date in the For Payments Made On field.
•Enter the date for payment processing by the Bank in the Date of File Processing field.
•Using the browse button 
at the end of the Output File box, navigate to where you wish to save the direct entry file;
•If you place a tick mark in the Tag records as processed upon file creation box the system will remember that these payments have already been included in a direct entry file.
•If you place a tick mark in the Include records previously tagged as processed box the system will include all relevant payments regardless of whether it believes that they have already been included in a payment file.
•If you require the Lodgement Reference (which the bank uses to describe your payment on the supplier bank statement) to be something other than the default reference of ‘PAYMENT” please enter it here. Note, this reference may not be longer than 18 characters.
•Some banks require an extra line in the format of the output file. If your bank requires this total debit record, please place a tick mark in this box.
