Split an employee's pay
Description

Normally you pay an employee using a single pay method, such as bank transfer or cash. However, some employees may want their pay split between two or more pay methods, or across multiple bank accounts.

You can use the Split Pay option in Sage Payroll to do this. Let's take a look.
