Hi Kristie OHara ,

Thanks for reaching out. For allocating employer portions of payroll costs, you'll need to set up user-defined expenses under the payroll settings, similar to how you would for an employer's contribution to an RRSP. This allows you to define an expense account for the portion of premiums paid by the employer, as detailed in Section 3 of the resolution from this article.

Here are some key steps you should follow, tailored to your situation:

1. Set up a user-defined expense for CPP/EI/WCB employer portions, specifying the appropriate percentage or amount.
2. Link these expenses to the correct payable and expense accounts, ensuring that the payable account for the employer's portion is not the same as the employee deduction payable account.
3. Enter these amounts in the employee records under the WCB & Other Expenses tab.

Please ensure that the accounts you want to link are not already used for other linked accounts since each account can only be linked once. If you need further clarification or assistance with the specific steps in Sage 50, the support team can be reached directly through their chat service here.

Hope this helps you set up your payroll allocations correctly. If this helps please mark it as verified :)

Warm Regards,
Erzsi

If I do this will it let me allocate to a project account? I do already have CPP/EI/WCB accounts set up in my chart of accounts and are associated with payroll. This process would replace what I am currently doing?
