Within Sage Payroll, there are three different options you can use to divide an employee's pay details across multiple departments or cost centres:
- Multi Entry tab on an employee's timesheet - When you're processing an employee's pay details, you can split their pay costs over a number of departments and cost centres in the Multi Entry tab.
- Multi-timesheet import - You can use this option to import payment hours and values into your employees' timesheets, and allocate these values to specific departments and cost centres. This is very useful if you're using a time and attendance software or Microsoft Excel to record your employee values. For more information about this process, please view this guide.
- Costing tab on an employee's record - If you want to define costing details for an employee, you can use this option. You can then attribute percentage cost allocations to your departments and cost centres. These form the basis of cost analysis.
Reporting
Now you've set up your Deartments and Cost Centres, you can use this information when running your reports.
- From the top menu bar, click Reports.
- Select the report you want to run, then in the Sequence drop-down, select how you'd like to order your report.
- Click Preview, to take a look at how your report will run.
