Distributing employee pay to jobs

If you have an employee who frequently works on several jobs in a single pay period, you may want to distribute employee pay to more than one job. Premier Accounting provides three ways to distribute employee pay to one job or to multiple jobs.

A single job: Enter the same job on every pay transaction

If you want to distribute employee pay to the same job for every payment for the employee, you can set up the job allocation to recur. That is, you'll assign the job number to the payroll category using the Card Information window: Payroll Details view - Recurring Pay.

The job number you enter here will be used for every payroll transaction you create for the employee until you delete or change the number.

Multiple jobs: Automatically include jobs from activity slips

You can distribute employee hourly wage amounts among multiple jobs if you use activity slips to track employee hours. (Including activity slips hours on employee payments)

Multiple jobs: Edit the employee payment

Another way to distribute employee pay among multiple jobs is to enter job numbers in step 2 of Process Payroll -- Select & Edit Paychecks.

You can distribute employee pay among multiple jobs using the following types of payroll categories:
