Payroll distributions

By defining payroll distributions, Payroll lets you override, as a percent, the normal distribution of wage and company-paid deduction expenses for an employee.

When you assign payroll distributions for an employee you can distribute specific wage and company-paid deduction expenses for an employee into multiple accounts. If a time record is added for an employee with a defined payroll distribution, the Payroll Distribution field on the time record form defaults to Yes.

If the total override distribution is not 100 percent, the remaining expenses use the standard General Ledger defaults. General Ledger accounts defaulting

When you run Payroll Close, you can determine how employee payroll distribution records are used for distributing expenses. You can choose to:

  • Distribute both the pay expense and company-paid expenses

  • Distribute only pay expenses

  • Distribute only company-paid expenses
