do you have two incomes defined, one for office salary, shop salary
you can link different accounts to each income
and you can assign one/more incomes per employee

OK, but where do I assign this to the specific employee. I know you can make changes under Setup>Settings>Payroll>Income>Link accounts, but does this not change everyone on your payroll? How do you link each individual employee for the proper account number? I don't see where to go.

open the employee, income tab, uncheck the one you don't want, check the one you do

Sorry, if you simply uncheck what you don't want to use here...How does that make a difference to what account it is charged against. Just because I unclick....Regular...Does that not just mean I can't enter any value under that heading? Confused!!

Perhaps you could explain what it is you are hoping/trying to do, do you want separate GL accounts for regular hours etc. for each employee?

Yes. Not all employees wages are to be expensed to the same account. ie. some need to go to mechanics wages, some need to go to office wages, others need to go to management etc. Can someone help me with this? Where do you allocate an account for a specific employee?

Hope fully the pictures will show up

Can you not do something like this, rename some of the editable unused Income accounts.

Then add additional Linked GL accounts as required

not sure why you need a different gl for each wage, you could just use 'wages and salaries' expense
in my screen shot, by employee, change the 'amount per unit' to each employee's hourly rate

if you need seperate gl's, create 'regularShop' and 'regularOffice' and link them as needed

Gingko, if you just copy and pasted the images, they will not show up. You must go into the Use rich formatting link at the bottom, if you can, and use the advanced editor to upload images from your computer and attach them to the message.

Carson,

Roger has indicated one method of doing what you are looking for. There are 20 income fields that you can use. He is suggesting that you use one that is not currently used, change the linked account to the account you want under Setup, Settings, Payroll, Linked Accounts, Incomes (not the menu path you indicated).

Under Setup, Settings, Payroll, Incomes, you can change the name of that field and change the Type to Hourly or one of the others if you need.

You can also change the name under Setup, Settings, Payroll, Names, Incomes & Deductions.

Then in the Employee Ledger that Roger indicated, just click the Use column on the Income tab for the income you wish to use for any particular employee and put in their rate of pay, unclick the ones you do not need to use. Different employees can be paid under different income fields.

Another method is just to go to that same Employee ledger Income tab and change the linked account at the bottom without doing the rest of the setup above. The drawback on this option is that all income expenses from all income fields will go to the same account including accrued Vacation pay. If you normally have vacation pay, for example, expensed to it's own account, you will find it in the new account for this employee(s).

There is one further option using Expense Groups (Premium or higher) but if you only need to do one or two employees, I would use one of the above options.

Hope this helps
