An employee's pay is allocated to cost centres in that employee's pay envelope. The two following buttons appear at the bottom of the pay envelope.

 

0000013c and 0000013d

 

The 'Show Cost Centres…" button will be greyed out unless cost centres have already been added to this pay envelope.

It can be arranged for cost centres to appear automatically in the pay envelope.

The Blue section is simple the qty column brought over to the right.

 

The Yellow section is the primary Cost Centre. Click into the cost centres (except the primary cost centre) for each line and adjust the hours.

 

The total hours in the cost centres in each line will equal the hours in the Qty column in that line. This means that if any change is made to the hours in one cost centre, the hours in the other cost centres will change so that they add up to the Qty column.

 

-If no hours are allocated to any other Cost Centre  – the total hours will go to the primary Cost Centre automatically.

 

-If hours are allocated to any other Cost Centre/s  – the hours will be taken off the primary Cost Centre accordingly.

 

NOTE: You are limited to 50 Cost Centres per employee per payrun.

NOTE:  If you have a Sage Pastel version of e-PayDay® please refer to the section for Sage Pastel GL Interface Setup.
