Distribute Labor Hours/Earnings

Access this menu selection using Activities>Payroll>Distribute Labor Hours/Earnings. It is only available with the Payroll module; it is not available for Payroll Link users.

Use this feature to update the distribution of labor hours and labor earnings when changes to Earning Codes (using the Track Labor Hours check box on Maintain>Payroll>Earning Codes) and/or Distribution Codes (changing percentage distribution on Maintain>Payroll>Distribution Codes) occur after the payroll checks/vouchers (Activities>Payroll>Print Checks/Vouchers) were printed and prior to the transfer of the payroll to accounting (Activities>Payroll>Transfer to Accounting). The process deletes the existing labor hours/earnings distribution and replaces it with the new percentage distribution and/or applicability of "Track Labor Hours."

  • When labor hours are distributed and the distribution code includes a fixed amount, the fixed amount is ignored and only the percentages are distributed.
  • Prior to transferring payroll data to Accounting (Activities>Payroll>Transfer to Accounting), you must complete any changes to distribution codes that effect Labor Hours/Earnings.
