Restricted contribution for security

[housue]

A sizeable contribution has been designated to hire police officers during service.

What is the best way to handle the contribution and payroll for the officers? The officers are requesting that we pay as part time employee rather than contract labor. We do not have the payroll module running at this writing. Hope to have it done soon.

Thanks

What I would do is create a special Contribution fund to cover this donation. In this way, it would be available in case others wish to contribute toward this service.

As far as how the accounts would be setup in Funds Accounting and payroll, others will have to comment, but you'll have to setup all the federal and state withholdings and other deductions that may be needed for the payroll.

Thanks Neil - my thoughts exactly -

We pay someone part-time to lock and unlock the church for "after business hours" events.

Donations run through the contribution module in a designated fund, and the db is checking, cr is an income acct for the accounting fund setup for custodial and other services.

The payroll item then has cr as checking, and db as an expense acct in the accounting fund.

This way we can run reports for the donations accumulated...through the contribution fund; and we can run reports for the whole ins & outs by running an inc/exp report for that accounting fund.

Hope this helps!

I can post some information on setting up payroll, but before I do, it would be good to know a few things:

Do you still have the default chart of accounts? (did you intentionally delete any of the liability accounts for payroll withholding?)

Do you still have the default payroll items? (you will unless you intentionally deleted them)

What version of PowerChurch do you have?
