How To: Set up Labor Distribution on an Employee Record

Wages, Deductions, and Taxes can be assigned automatic allocations using the Labor Distribution profile. 
To create a Labor Distribution Profile, navigate to Company Settings > Profiles/Policies > Labor Distribution
To create a new profile, click the Add New Profile button
Complete the following sections and fields:
  1. Name: Enter the name of the labor distribution profile.
  2. Description: Enter a description related to the labor distribution.
  3. Active: Uncheck this box to inactivate this labor distribution profile.
  4. Earnings List: Click the Lookup icon to select an Earnings List. If you don't see an appropriate list, you can create one directly from this page by clicking the New Earnings List button. You can also build an Earnings List from other areas in the system. But, most commonly, you build an Earnings List in each earning code, where you attach an earning to an existing list or create a new one.
  5. Allocation Section: Enter the allocation for distributing this profile among cost centers. There is no limit to the number of allocation rows for the profile. However, a total allocation of 100 percent is required. The system does not allow you to save the profile without a 100 percent total in this section.


To add rows, click the Add Rows button. Enter a number next to the Add Rows button to create multiple rows.
When the profile is completed, click the Save button.

To assign the Labor Distribution Profile to an employee, select the applicable profile on the employee's Labor Distribution Profile selection.  


This profile will allocate Scheduled Earnings to the labor distribution profile. 
To allocate additional earnings, such as time off earnings to the profile, select the Labor Distribution Pay Prep profile.  If you do not have this option, contact AtlasHR to have this profile created.
