Payroll Costing Configuration Labor Schedules

Use payroll costing configuration labor schedules to distribute payroll costs to configured projects using payroll costing attributes that are specific to your business.

For example, if location is a payroll costing segment that represents a person's work location, you can define a precedence-based set of rules per location and configure them to distribute each payroll cost to appropriate sponsored and non-sponsored projects, as applicable.

To use payroll costing configuration labor schedules to distribute payroll costs, you must:

1. Define payroll costing configuration labor schedules and related distribution rules using Labor Distribution > Manage Labor Schedules.
2. Define the pay elements that you want to use to distribute payroll costs to projects using Labor Distribution > Manage Project Payroll Pay Elements.
3. Run payroll with optimal efficiency and compliance.
4. Account the payroll costs.
5. Schedule the Import Payroll Costs process to distribute the payroll as defined.

Note: This new labor schedule is applied after checking if the associated person and assignment have any applicable assignment labor schedules.

Tips and Considerations

1. The Import Payroll Costs process start and end date parameters use the processed date of the payroll cost to determine whether it should be imported.
2. Retroactive payroll costs will inherit the process date of their associated payroll and will have a retroactive pay period that will be used to derive the expenditure item date when distributing via labor schedules.
3. Adjusting a payroll cost in Payroll will not create a new process date.
4. The Start Date parameter in the Import Payroll Costs process should be set based on your business rules that determine how far in the past adjustments can be made in Payroll.
