Hours to be assigned to jobs

[Fiona291]

We are using AccountRight and have our employees set up with a Salary as opposed to Hourly Rate. We are trying to do some job costing, so trying too allocate various hours to a job, however we cant do timesheets when the employee is on a salary. Any suggestions on how I can record the hours to the job?

Hi @Fiona291 

Within the Pay Employee window when processing an employee's pay you can directly add in the job number to an amount. Alternatively, if it needs to be split across jobs select the ellipsis button in the Jobs field to bring up the Allocate Jobs window

TIP: If it's the same single job each pay that you wish to allocate the value to add it to the Standard Pay of the employee - Card File>>Cards List>>Payroll Details>>Standard Pay. Adding it to the Standard Pay will treat that as a default so it would appear each time you process the pay, it can be changed at the time of recording if you need a different value for an individual pay.

I found this question and reply very helpful, thanks.

In addiition to this allocation of salary, in my business, we want to actually record the hours the salarised employees actually work against jobs.

I have attempted to do this but each option I have taken doesn't work without affecting the payroll directly ie adding the hours to the salary amount.

Is there anyway to get around this.

For example our salaries are based on 80 hour fortnight, however, employee often work more than the 80 hours.  If they work 16 extra hours for example, we want to allocate the expense the entire 96 hours worked against job(s) but do not want this reflected anywhere in payroll expenses.

Thanks kindly.
