Employee Position Maintenance - Enter and maintain additional reporting information related to an employee’s position(s). The account number field provides the flexibility to override or dynamically build the posting accounts for each employee. This window also allows the user to track multiple jobs by fiscal year.  (See Figure 1)

Configure Employee Posting Accounts - Build employee payroll posting accounts using the Payroll Account Options window. Use account segments from either the Posting Account Setup window or the Employee Position Maintenance window.  (See Figure 2)

Expense Distributions - Building expense distributions based on an employee’s wage distributions becomes possible with Employee Accounts and Splits. By using this option, the Employer’s Tax Expense, Benefits Expense, and Taxable Benefits Expense will be distributed based on the employee’s chosen wage distribution.

Assign GL Account at Transaction Entry - When an employee needs a unique General Ledger Account assigned not enumerated through the Posting Accounts or the Employee Splits window, the user can assign that code when entering data on the Payroll Transaction entry window.

Split Payroll Transactions Automatically - Salaried employees sometimes work across multiple departments, so their costs should be allocated in the same way. Employee Splits enables the system to automatically divide employee costs based on department, position, or pay code. It will also specify the GL Posting Account, overriding any Payroll Posting Account Setup options.  (See Figure 3)

What is the difference between Transaction Auto-Split (featured in Advanced Payroll) and Employee Accounts and Splits?
Employee Accounts and Splits allows the system to automatically split employee costs based on department position or pay code.  Employee Accounts and Splits also allows you to split wages into a specific GL Account that is assigned to the employee.

We initially went down the road of using General Ledger fixed allocation accounts.  The downside with this is that the allocation information is in the General Ledger only.  We would not be able to rely on the payroll subsidiary ledger to run reports to show the employee’s actual hours, wages, and so on. Can Employee Accounts and Splits be used to eliminate the fixed allocation accounts and update the payroll reports?
Yes. Employee Accounts and Splits can take the place of fixed allocation accounts in the GL and show the results of the split on the payroll reports.
