Split Departments

How do I split an employee's time between multiple Departments?

Open Employee Maintenance and then open the employee.

On the General tab, select the employee's primary department in the Normal Department field.

In the Earnings Type section on the Pay Details screen of Employee Maintenance, add another Standard Hours field.

In the first Standard Hours field select the employee's primary department.

In the second Standard Hours field select the employee's secondary department.

Repeat the process for other Earnings Types (e.g. Time & Half and Double Time) that the employee might work for the secondary department.

Repeat the above process if the employee will work in more than two departments.

Click on the Save icon to save the changes.

Please see the Pay Details video for further details.

When is the Department on an Earnings type shown in red?

The Department selected on an Earnings type is shown in red if that Department is not the employee's normal Department (i.e. the Normal Department selected for that employee on the General tab in Employee Details).

This is normal if an employee works some hours for a Department other than his normal Department.

However, if this is not the case, you will need to either correct the Normal Department on the General tab, or edit each Earnings Type with a red Department and select the correct Department.

Please see the Pay Details video above for further details.
