Payroll without Labor Logs

The payroll system in the MacNail construction accounting software is designed for use with the Labor Logs. We highly recommend that you fill the Labor Logs with full information from your time cards--it will give you much more accurate job cost information, and it will help you to create your own database of labor costs.

NOTE-- Our newer Goldenseal construction payroll software is much easier to use!

If you want to use our payroll system, and don't use the full Labor Log:

1. Make a 'dummy' Labor Log.
2. Have at least one item in the dummy Labor Log, with a date that is within the previous pay period, and a dollar amount in the total column
3. Make a Labor Report from the dummy Labor Log. Don't worry if there are no hours in it.
4. Make a Payroll Report from the Labor Report.
5. Type the actual hours worked by each employee into the hrs column of the payroll report.
