Hi Linda. Yes you can have lines with and without job cost (direct expense). Basically, if the timecard line does not have a Job on it, the wage expense for that line goes to the account in the Other Wages column for that employee's Position in 5-3-3. The overhead from payroll calculations will go the Overhead Expense account designated in the calculation setup in 5-3-1 for hourly wages, or the Admin Expense account for Salary wages. When you do include a Job in the timecard line, the wages go the Job Wages account in 5-3-3 and Job Expense account in 5-3-1.

What if that line also requires a department?  If it does, will that wage show on the Department Income Statement?

Yes, if there is a Department used then any expense related to that timecard line will show on the department income statement.
