DOCUMENTATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ever wonder if your pay check is correct?  Are the
deductions and withholding too much or too little? Payroll
2004 makes it easy to calculate & track your weekly or bi-
weekly pay checks. Enter  the  hours  worked as  well  as
overtime, holiday, sick leave, and other pay categories, 
then Payroll 2004 applies the withholding tax rates for
federal, state, and city or non-city resident  based on your 
exemptions claimed and marital status. Vary your K-plan
deduction  to see what percentage is right for you. Check
medicare, SDI, SUI, Cafeteria Plan and social security 
payments. A year-to-date printout shows your week-by-
week earnings. Export to Excel.

The  overtime chart saves your  last year's pay periods
and  calculates  overtime  percentage,  so that you  can
track whether  you  are  pushing  company limits. This is
a neat little program for one or more individuals.

Payroll 2004 is meant for an employee or employer to
track his or her payroll withholdings and deductions. It
does not track what an employer needs to send to the
I.R.S., State or local tax department. Employers should
check State and City web sites for rules and regulations.

*Watch for upgrades and version enhancements.
***For Windows95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP

ERROR MESSAGES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The help file should answer all or most of you questions
or I can help if you send email with exact error message
or problem to: mail@breaktru.com

MSVBVM60.DLL   was not found.. You used the file
pay2k.exe which omits this file to quicken download
time. Most systems already have this file installed in

If it was any other saved file mentioned below you
can simply delete said file and a new one will be
automatically created. However, your data will have
to be entered again. So, make a print out
occasionally for backup purposes.
