Wage Manager Solution, which comes at no cost with the purchase of Sunburst Software Solutions Inc.'s Certified Payroll Solution or for $50 per company license, is designed to ensure that contractors pay employees at the correct pay rate.

Whether a company is implementing an across-the-board pay increase or giving raises to select employees, Sunburst's Wage Manager lets contractors' payroll departments import and view employees, the payroll wage items and pay rates into a spreadsheet layout.  At that point, authorized users can create new payroll wage items and pay rates; modify current payroll wage items and remove any obsolete payroll wage items for one or many employees. This information then is linked to the company's Intuit QuickBooks accounting system with a single click, according to Sunburst Software. Overall, this process saves time, eliminates many errors and streamlines the payroll process.

Different shifts or pay differentials need not be approached one by one; rather, they can be resolved almost immediately through Wage Manager, which also handles commission vs. flat pay, hourly vs. salaried workers, and overtime, double time and triple time, according to Sunburst Software.
