Reallocation Values

There's a list of values you can choose from, according to the pay element needed:

  • None: no reallocation will be made in this reallocation profile.

  • Per basic hour transaction cost centre: a reallocation will be made for each basic hour entry according to its cost centre.

  • Per pay item transaction cost centre: a reallocation will be made for each pay item entry according to its cost centre.

  • Per employee percentage: a reallocation will be made based on a percentage set in the employee profile. 

  • Per overtime transaction cost centre: a reallocation will be made for each overtime entry according to its cost centre.

These reallocations are reported when you generate a payroll report.
