We are looking at upgrading to Premium because of the ability to use departments.

Bottom line, I want to be able to take an employees hours, enter them into the default entry and the one department we will be creating. I also have to be able to allocate the hours in the default entry to Projects and the hours in the deparment need to be allcaoted to Projects.

Thanks,

Joey

Hi Joey,

I think you're asking if you can post a part of your payroll to a department (you use the term hours but I assume that you mean an amount based on the hours worked)?  In the second part, you're asking if you can then allocate the whole paycheque to a project?  Correct me if I misunderstood something.

Department and project allocations are separate so you are able to post a part of your paycheque to a department and then allocate the whole paycheque to a project.  I hope this answers your question.

I would also suggest that you download the trial version of the Premium and try this out for yourself.

 Nemanja,

 Thanks for answering.

I have regular employess. When I do their payroll I allocated there hours to different project.

I have a plumber and when I do his payroll I enter his payroll into the 1 depatment we will have and his hours are allocated to different projects.

I have another employee who works as a plumber's helper and a regular employee. So his payroll must be seperated to the dept and the default entry for payroll. All his hours need to be allocated to projects. 

Clear as mud?

Thanks Joey

That's actually a lot clearer, thank you!

 It looks like you can do all of this.  

You can allocate all, or a  part, of any income or deduction to a department so that takes care of both the plumber and his helper.  You would still allocate everything to projects as before since department allocation does not affect your project allocation.
