Michael,

Is half the time related to a job (project) or jobs that would need to be costed, and the other half to admin (not costed)? If so, then you can designate different ledger accounts in the 5-3-3 Employee Positions setup for Job Wages and Other Wages. When doing payroll, you can assign a job in the timecard lines for production and the job wages ledger will be used, and no job for the admin time and the other wages ledger account will be used. The same goes with the employer cost payroll calculations in 5-3-1 where you are assigning the ledger accounts for the different expense types (job, equipment/shop, overhead, admin).

For info on how to job cost a salaried employee, see this article in our Knowledgebase:

What I am trying to do is split a salaried employee between two accounts or "positions" in 5-3-3. One position is project manager and one is an estimator. One is an indirect cost and one falls under our admin. I canno see how do do this. I tried in screen 5-2-1 "Human Resources" seems like the only spot to do this.

Unfortunately, you can't use two positions in the same payroll for the same employee. But you can allocate different GL accounts for job and non-job wage for the same position. So in the payroll record, any timecard line that has a job will use the Job Wages ledger account number and any line that does not have a job will use the Other Wages ledger account.

How do I do this? NEITHER of the accounts is JOB costed. So we can not speak about job costing, it is not relevant

If neither of the accounts is job costed, then the method I described does not apply. Since you cannot use two positions for the same employee, you would have to post the payroll record under just one position, then do a journal entry in 1-3 to reallocate of portion from one GL account to the other.
