Add a Company

Once you have successfully installed Paymaster the next step is to add your company. You will need to obtain an authorization code from PayMaster for each company for which you do payroll. Only PayMaster support can provide you with these authorization codes.

Go to "Start" > "Programs" >" PayMaster for Windows" > "Add a Company":

New Company ID: This is the short name of your company for quick identification. Cannot start with a number. (Max 10 char)

New Company Name: This is the name associated with your Federal EIN and the name that will appear on your W2s. (Max 30 char)

UserID/Password: You will need a username and password for each company for which you do payroll. These are case sensitive. (Max 16 char each)

Authorization Code: Enter the code provided to you by PayMaster Support.

After you have entered the "New Company ID", the "New Company Name" the "Privileged User ID" and "Password", you will need to call PayMaster technical support for your "authorization code". The "New Company ID" can not be changed once entered. Basically, this is the value that the database uses to identify the company.

After all data is entered, press "Next", and you will be prompted to review your entries.

Note: By default the Host Machine is localhost, which is the name of your local computer. If you installed MySQL on another computer, a server for example, it would be the name of that server or the IP address.

Press "Next" again, then "Add Company”.

You should be able to see the progress of the basic database tables being created for your company. Once completed you are now ready to begin setting up your company.

If you choose a different port from which to run MySQL you will be prompted to enter it at this point.
