How Do I Distribute Earnings with Tagged Earnings

Tagged earnings are earnings you associated to a locality through element entry.

You can do this at the assignment level by manual entry through the Elements task. The input values are State, County, and City. You can also associate or tag an earning through time card entries. The payroll process uses the provided values in its calculations.

When you use tagged earnings, the input values already contain the exact jurisdiction. Therefore, the payroll process doesn't derive the jurisdictions nor the distributions.

For example, you have an employee who works in four locations. Their total work hours is 40 per week, 10 hours at each location. To distribute by tagged earnings, the earnings element must allow multiple entries in a payroll period. You define separate element entries for each of the employee's work locations, entering their hours and rate.

Location	Hours per week
Texas	10
San Jose, CA	10
Los Angeles, CA	10
Arizona	10
