NOTE :This option is only available if you have purchased* the e-Cost™ plug-in option or have an e-PayDay® UC version of our program.
If you do not have Cost Centres and wish to purchase this option contact our Sales Department. For further details (see Plug-in Registration)
If you have a Sage Pastel version of e-PayDay® some of the information in this topic will not be relevant as e-Cost SE™ is used provided that you have entered a Plug-In key. For further information refer to the section for Cost Centres Sage Edition.
The operating costs of a business enterprise may be allocated to several different areas of the organisation eg. Administration, Workshop, Sales etc. In e-PayDay® these areas are referred to as Cost Centres.
Depending on the area in which the employee has worked during the pay period, the employee's gross pay, including allowances can be allocated to different Cost Centres.
NOTE: Cost Centre allocations are maintained for Pay Rates and Allowances only. Deductions are NOT recorded in Cost Centre allocations. Tax is also allocated proportionately over the whole taxable gross amount. Superannuation is proportioned based on gross for superannuation.
To access Cost Centre information from the main screen, click on the word 'Company' (above the picture button) then click on the 'e-Cost™' option.
This takes you to the Cost Centre List. See Cost Centre List
For information specific to adding or editing a cost centre see Adding / Editing a Cost Centre
The attributing of pay to cost centres is actually done in the employee's pay envelope.
See Using Cost Centres During a Payrun
If an employee's pay gets attributed to the same cost centres pay period after pay period, these cost centres can be preset to appear automatically in the employee's pay envelope. In spite of this, if on the odd occasion, the employee's pay needs to attributed to an additional cost centre than those preset, this can be achieved by clicking on the 'Add/Edit Cost Centres' button at the bottom of the pay envelope.
See Allocating Cost Centres to Employees
* If you choose to export to Sage Pastel GL Interface Setup you will not need to activate e-Cost™ as it is combined with that function.
