Labor Expense Allocation

Use the Labor Expense Allocation SuiteApp to allocate payroll costs to benefiting target programs or functional areas.

Most organizations need to classify all expenses into functional areas, and they are fundamental to the organization's financial management and reporting.

In an organization, employees commonly work on tasks in different functional areas. Therefore, the salary expenses must reflect the functional areas where the employees worked.

Using the Labor Expense Allocation SuiteApp, you can allocate labor expenses either by employee rates or by employee pay transactions. With employee rates, you define the employee rates to calculate the labor expense allocation. Whereas, with employee pay transactions, you create employee pay transactions and use these transactions for labor expense allocation.
