Hi Dee@LHA,

If your version is premium or up, you can consider using department.  Then, the wage expense account that you use to link to your employee wages can be broken down into 4 different sections.  For example

5100-100: Wages - Location 1
5100-200: Wages - Location 2
5100-300: Wages - Owned Assets
5100-400: Wages - Leased Assets

When you create the paycheque, in the paycheque window, you can go to Paycheque in the menu bar and select Allocate to Departments.  You can then follow the on-screen on the box, click the ..... button under the Dept. column and do your allocation.  You can do the alloation either by Amount or percentage.

In case you are using Pro, which does not have the department feature, you can consider setting up the subaccounts ad project and do project allocation when doing the paycheque

I'm using Premium so could try the Departments. I need the breakdowns to show on the P&L. Will they?

Thank you

Hi Dee@LHA,

If you use financial reports, like balance sheet, income statement or general ledger, they will have options to show department which will provide you the breakdowns.

Hope this helps

I think I have the wages departments figured out, but want to active some R&M departments for some vendors too but when I hit the department drop down arrow in vendor record no dept's show like they do in employees. I have activated and assigned/unassigned all departments. Tried it with and without an expense account assigned to a vendor as well.
