How do I allocate an employee's wages to a department?

Once you've set up Department Codes, it's easy to allocate your employee's wages to the appropriate department(s) on Payroll Entry. Follow the instructions below to help walk you through the process.

  1. On Payroll Entry, click the Departments section under the MORE column.  
  2. A box will open in which you can enter the percentage of the employee's pay for this pay period. Enter the percentage by department, making sure your total equals 100%.
  3. Once you're done entering, click the Update Department button. You'll see an update on the employee on Payroll Entry showing the number of departments that wages have been allocated to.
  4. You can do this for all employees whose wages you want to allocate to departments.

NOTE:  Once the allocation is entered and payroll is approved, the same allocation will be there the next time you run payroll. If an employee only does work for one department, you don't have to enter this each time you run payroll.
