Project Distribution Subtask

This subtask displays how the employer contribution amount will be allocated to projects when the payroll record is posted in the Post Payroll Journal process.

This subtask will only be available if the Direct charge employer contributions checkbox is selected on the Configure Payroll Settings screen.

Contributions are assigned to employees on the Manage Employee Contributions screen. After calculating the contribution amount, the Compute Payroll process populates this table by prorating the contribution amount across all projects charged on the employee's timesheet(s) from the pay period.

The Project Distribution subtask will only contain data if the selected Contribution is not a union fringe and some or all of the employee's hours were charged to a project during the pay period. If needed, you may add a new project or delete an existing project. You may also edit the amount allocated to each project, but the sum of all rows must equal the selected contribution's amount. Note that if you add or delete a project, the project allocation will no longer match the timesheet project charging.
