Department History F/M (PRF954)

This program allows the user of the FACTS system to view, create and maintain records in the department history file.

The user may enter information through this program during the initial set up of the payroll system. Thereafter, it is maintained by the Check Register update program. However, most new users allow the system to begin compiling payroll information and do not enter past data.

If entering set up information, all hours worked and earnings paid must be gathered by department. Totals are entered for any or all of the three time periods (period-to-date, quarter-to-date and year-to-date) by branch.

For more information how to use maintenances, refer to the following topics:
