Payroll software for accountants FAQs
Does Cintra support Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?
Yes! We support both Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), allowing users to securely access the system with their usual login details while adding an extra layer of security.
Does Cintra produce maternity pay schedules?
Yes! Our cloud-based payroll software for accountants allows you to set up as many occupational parental schemes as needed. The system automatically calculates maternity and parental leave payments and generates a detailed schedule for both your records and your employees’ records.
Can the system generate gender pay gap reports?
Yes. Cintra lets you produce gender pay gap reports at any time, giving you a clear view of hourly rate gaps, bonus gaps, and other pay comparisons so you can access these reports whenever you need them.
How does the system handle pay variance reports?
Cintra makes it easy to track pay changes. You can set thresholds and compare the current pay period with the previous one, see differences in pay and deductions, and review any unexpected changes.
Does the system provide a minimum wage exception report?
Yes. When you run payroll, Cintra’s online payroll software for accountants can create a report showing if anyone has fallen below minimum wage. It also highlights things like deductions that may have caused this, helping you spot and fix any issues and stay on top of wage rules.
Can the system handle journals?
Absolutely. Cintra can create finance journals in just a few clicks. You can adjust them to match your accounting system and then export them for use in your financial software, meaning our payroll software for accountants makes it simple to manage payroll-related accounting tasks.
Does your payroll software for accountants include pension auto-enrolment assessments?
We’re fully compliant with automatic enrolment rules. The system keeps track of your postponement periods and default pension schemes and automatically checks whether employees should be enrolled. If they qualify, the system puts them into the scheme while also automatically creating enrolment letters that you can send to employees.
Can you roll back a pay period?
Yes, but with Cintra, you usually don’t need to. Our corrections features let you fix mistakes without having to restore backups or roll back the entire pay period. We make it as easy as possible to correct errors without redoing everything!
Can Cintra backdate pay?
Yes. Our payroll software for accountants is a date-driven system, meaning every payroll change has a start and end date. If a change should have taken effect in a previous pay period, the system works out how much backpay the employee is owed.
Can the system handle multiple occupational schemes for things like sick pay?
Yes. Cintra allows you to set up multiple occupational schemes and calculates different sickness entitlements based on length of service. The system also tracks rolling years so you can make sure everything is in line with your scheme rules.
