DOCUMENTATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ever wonder if your pay check is correct?  Are the
deductions and withholding too much or too little? Payroll
2002 makes it easy to keep track of your weekly or bi-
weekly pay checks. Enter  the  hours  worked as  well  as
overtime, holiday, sick leave, and other pay categories, 
then Payroll 2002 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 2002 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: davegior@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
the windows\system or windows\system32 folder.
Fix = Use the file pay2k.zip at: 
http://breaktru.com/pay2k.zip

MSSTDFMT.DLL   Not registered
This is how you register a dll. You can type in the
path by Clicking on the Start Button then Run.
Substitute if your system file is different. Type this or
copy and paste in the Run window:
RegSvr32.Exe C:\Windows\System\MSSTDFMT.DLL

Run-time error:  Overflow or Input past end of file or
Invalid property value:
If you receive an error message, a saved file was
possibly corrupted. Not to worry. If it was any of the
saved files mentioned below you can simply move or
delete said file and a new one will be automatically
created when you run the program again. However,
the data saved in that file will have to be entered again.
I recommend that you backup these files regularly.

Federal.tax File Lost or Damaged:
If the federal tax file has become corrupt or is missing
a pop up box will warn you of this condition. Re-installing
Payroll will install a new Federal.tax file. Or you can
obtain a new one called kFederal.tax by emailing me at
davegior@breaktru.com After receiving the zipped file,
extract or copy to the Payroll 2002 folder or what ever you
might have renamed it to. The default location and folder
name on installation would be C:\Program Files\Payroll 2002.
When asked if you want to overwrite existing file, click Yes.

Caution: Do not delete Federal.tax file unless instructed
to or any other file not mentioned below.

Delete one at a time and try again.
Substitute "You" for your saved name file.
Files to delete in case of error:
   You.pay ..............Status, Pay rate, deductions
   You.ste ...............State tax table
   You.cty ...............City tax table
   You.anw or .anb ...Yr to date for Wk or Bi
   You.otw or .otb .....OT tracking for Wk or Bi
   You.vac ................Vacation tracking
   You.caf .................Cafeteria Plan
   You.add ................Additional info
   You.nct ................Non Resident

These files are created by user when saved. Using the
uninstall from Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs will
leave these files behind and of course the Folder containing
them. If installing a newer version causes error messages,
delete these files.
