Applying Mixed Proportional Costing
Mixed proportional costing must be enabled by ticking the Mixed Proportional Costing option on the Payroll Setup Page 1 window. Once enabled, you can set up mixed proportional costing as follows.
Wages
When the cost centre for a wage line matches the employee's default cost centre, and proportional costing is turned on, the wage line is proportioned, either by percentage or by hours. In some cases you may want to override some or all of the wage lines to be costed directly to the employee's default cost centre, rather than being proportioned.
To do this, open the Current Pay, select an employee, and click the Wages button to open the Wages window. Double-click on a wage line to edit it, and make sure the Direct cost to this code option is ticked.
Allowances
When the cost centre for an allowance matches the employee's default cost centre, and proportional costing by percentage is turned on, the allowance is proportioned. In some cases you may want to override some or all allowances to be costed directly to the employee's default, rather than being proportioned.
To do this, open the Current Pay, select an employee, and click the Allowances button to open the Allowances window. Double-click on an allowance to edit it, and make sure the Direct cost to this code option is ticked.
Leave
When the cost centre for leave matches the employee's default cost centre, and proportional costing by percentage is turned on, the leave is proportioned. In some cases you may want to override some or all leave to be costed directly to the employee's default, rather than being proportioned.
To do this, open the Current Pay, select an employee, and click the Leave Management button to open the Leave Management window. Click the button for the appropriate leave type, and make sure the Direct cost to this code option is ticked.
KiwiSaver
The employer's KiwiSaver contribution can be costed proportionally to a specific Cost Centre, or to the employee's default Cost Centre. In some cases you may want to have contributions costed directly to a specified Cost Centre.
To do this, open the Current Pay, select an employee, and click the KiwiSaver button to open the KiwiSaver window. Specify a Cost Centre and make sure the Direct cost to this code option is ticked.
