Restaurant payrolls are uniqueÉ.that's why we have developed tools and functions to help manage this process.

With tips, multiple rates of pay and POS interfacing, we've got you covered. That's why the Louisiana Restaurant Association (LRA) chose APS as the recommended service provider for their members.

With APS OnLine you know which employees will be grossed up prior to submitting the payroll information. That way if adjustments need to be made, you can make them before the payroll is processed, rather than trying to fix problems after the payroll arrives.

For more complex payrolls, each income item can be flagged to be included in the Tip to Min calculation.

Tip Credit Overtime Calculations
One of the most difficult calculations for a restaurant payroll involves the tip credit and overtime pay for tipped employees. With APS OnLine there is no need to create another wage type or setup an additional rate of pay for the employee. APS OnLine knows which employees are tipped and what the overtime rate should be. And, just like the Tip to Min income item, you can see the overtime pay for each employee before the payroll is submitted.

Unpaid Deductions Report
In many cases for tipped employees, the employee's net pay is not enough to cover the full tax withholdings and additional deductions. Our Unpaid Deductions report will detail this information and is prepared with each payroll. In addition, the same information can be reported on in APS OnLine for any time period or any employee; therefore, allowing you to make the necessary adjustments to recover deduction amounts unpaid by the employee.

This may sound good, but we've taken deductions even further. With each deduction we can set the option of allowing a partial deduction, or to make up the deduction automatically on the next payroll. What does this mean to you? Well, you never have to track payroll adjustments for deductions from payroll to payroll, and your exposure to overpaying employees is significantly reduced.

Point-of-Sale (POS) interfacing
With interfaces in place for many of the more popular POS systems, you won't have to re-key your employee time clock data; therefore, maintaining the integrity of your data, and reducing payroll errors. After importing your data, any necessary adjustments can be made to employee hours or tips before submitting the payroll. In addition, the Batch Report will detail the income items and deduction items of each employee.

Multiple rates of pay
In most restaurants, employees will perform multiple jobs, such as hostess, wait staff, kitchen, or shift manager. With APS OnLine, employees can easily be assigned multiple rates of pay for each job or department. All of which are detailed on the employee's pay stub, reducing the number of employee payroll questions.

Workers Compensation Reporting
By departmentalizing your payroll, each worker's comp classification can be tracked and paid using the proper code and rate. A worker's comp report can be generated at any time for a given time period using APS OnLine.

Form 8846 Reporting - Credit for Employer Social Security and Medicare Taxes Paid on Certain Employee Tips
As most restaurateurs know, the restaurant owner(s) are allowed to take a credit on their personal income tax return equal to the amount of social security and Medicare taxes paid on employee tips that are above the federal minimum wage.

Calculating the credit can be a difficult task and many owners simply do not have the time to make the proper calculations and end up forfieting the credit.

With APS, we can calculate the credit and generate the 8846 report in seconds. This is an annual report that will list all employees, the total tip income, tips not subject to the credit and the tips subject to the credit.
