Payroll Options

Payroll Options

Choose *Payroll Options to set your payroll period in the MacNail construction accounting software, and method of computing workman's compensation.

NOTE-- MacNail was replaced by Goldenseal construction payroll software in 2000. It works much better than MacNail for calculating payroll, and is much easier to use. Goldenseal is an integrated program that includes general accounting, job costing, payroll and project billing, plus estimating and other features.

When you choose this command, you will see a dialog box:

Click the button that matches the length of your payroll period. If you have a payroll period not listed, click on Every xxx Days and type in the length of the period, in days.

Click on the method of computing Workman's Comp (see also pages 61 and 63). If you choose flat percentage, you will be asked to type in a rate.
