Other Pay Setup Tab of Payroll Setup Form

Use the Other Pay Setup tab of to create other pay categories and assign them to one specific account for all employees, or to different accounts, associated with different labor types.

For each Other Pay category that you establish here, you can associate unique account numbers by labor type in the Labor Type grid.

Associating labor types with an other pay category allows you to create just one other pay category and differentiate the account by labor type. Associating labor types with other pay categories may also make it easier to report on and track the pay amounts for Other Pay categories.

Other Pay Account (1-5)	Select the account (or accounts) to associate with the selected labor type. For each other pay category established at the top of this form, you can associate a different other pay account number per labor type. This account will then be debited during payroll processing for other pay expenses associated with the corresponding labor type. For employees with the corresponding labor type, this account overrides the one selected in the Account field at the top of this form. You may want to enter unique accounts per labor type to make it easier to report on and track the pay amounts for Other Pay categories. For example, after associating other pay accounts to labor types you can then run an Account Analysis report and analyze the transaction detail and total of the other pay accounts. Having other pay accounts broken down by labor type makes it easier to track other pay than it would be if each other pay account was the same for all employees.
