parameter has been added to the 401k plan maintenance screen. For 2008 this

system stopped taking out 401k only if the contribution limits of $15,500 plus
over-50 if applicable ($5,000) were reached. It is possible for an individual
to reach 230,000 in compensation without having reached the contribution limit
of $15,500 so it becomes an either/or situation. If you have questions as to
this rule, please consult your plan administrator or tax consultant.

-System
will check AcuRuntime release and if out of date, issue a warning. If you
receive this warning, contact us for a free upgrade. All users need to be on
release 5 or higher to use the new enhancements discussed below.
-New
Printer Selection Screen:
As we
change programs which require a printer selection, we will be implementing a
new printer selection screen. This allows the operator to select from a list of
printers as provided by the Windows GUI versus the brics table of printers that
is currently in use. This will alleviate the problems we have had at times of
connecting to some network printers. You will see the same set of printer names
as Word, Excel or any other Microsoft program. You will also be able to specify
the number of copies you need. This print screen was used in last year’s W2 and
1099 programs as well as some of the custom reports recently released so it
won’t be completely new to everyone. Other advantages will be the ability to
specify multiple copies of any report. If
you would like to see an example of how it works, select one of the following
reports: Payroll Reports labor class list-774, Report generator Extended-691 or
Equipment Appraisal List-364. When you click start report you will get the
following screen:
You can use the drop down menu to select any printer
available on your network and the “copies ?”
to specify the number of copies you would like, 1 copy is the default.
When you’ve made your selections, click the Print button.
There are hundreds of reports in the system so the
changeover to the new print selection screen will be gradual. The programming
has been done so that the two printer selection methods remain combatable. If
you try one of the reports above and have a problem or note unusual printer
behavior on the next report sent to the printer please let us know. We are also
interested if the system works correctly when printing to a line printer since
all our testing to date has been on sheet fed printers (inkjet or laser
printers.)
The new
printer selection screen also paves the way for an exciting new feature, an
improved screen preview method. In a future release you will have the ability
to select a PDF printer from the list of available printers. This gives you the
ability to preview a report using the Adobe reader which can be freely
installed on your pc. This method of preview will be better than the current
MULTIVU reader in that the report can be printed after review without page
wrapping and the report can be saved or emailed from the Adobe reader
screen. If you would like to be involved
in the testing of this please contact us and we will send you instructions on
how to install and use this feature. If will only be available in those report
programs which have the new printer selection screen method described above.
