I would like to use Theranest to pay my office assistant Right now I am using Quickbooks and would like to close that account as I am paying for other services that I do not need. It would also be very convenient to have everything in one system.
When payroll is complete, there needs to be a way of "locking" payroll so that any unapplied claim money would automatically go into the next payroll period. This is a serious shortcoming of Theranest. When I finish payroll, I can go into the same payroll period next time and more dollars appear and it shows I owe therapists more money than original payout. I can't continue to go into previous payrolls and find money that should have been paid but wasn't because the unapplied payments were applied during a previous period. I know I've become wordy with this reply but this is a major problem Theranest has and I don't think many practices are aware of this glitch. For me its an integrity issue and it looks like I have shorted my clinicians when that is not my intention.
To assist with business payrolls, it would be helpful to have payroll reports include an export similar to that of a paystub. I would suggest that the following information be included at the top:
This information would include:
1) The contractor or employee's name,
2) Last 4 of their social security,
3) The pay period dates (dates for which you ran the report),
4) Pay date;
5) total rendered services prior to commission percentage;
6) Comission percentage employee/contractor gets;
7) Total amount employee/contractor earned;
8) normal export of payroll services between chosen dates but with CLIENT ID, not client name, only.
9) Option to include a check number for employers who do not pay via direct deposit.
It would be really great if there was a way to access billable units per employee/contractor per selected pay period. Currently the process requires a fair amount of manual tracking.
