2 Payroll Accounts

[grams]

We have money designated for 2 employees that needs to be tracked separately from the regular income. Is it possible to set up 2 fund accounts with payroll items in them so these people can be paid from the fund separate from the current fund? Eg. 01 Current Fund for regular employees - 17 Additional Payroll Account for the others. If so, how do we designate in the payroll module which account the checks need to be posted to?

We have a similar situation, I think. We have our regular employees who are paid out of our general budget and one who raises support for her pay. We have the contributions for her support put into a separate account and the salary and deductions lines also come out of that account. We're in Canada, so we deduct Employment Insurance and Canada Pension Plan amounts paid by the employee and the employer. We have liability lines set up that these amounts go into and then at the end of each month, the money is moved out of the liability lines and pays the cheque to the government. For those liability lines, we use the same 2XXX number for both the general fund for the regular employees and for the designated fund for the supported employee. Then, there is a specific contribution line set up for the donations coming in to support the employee and the expense lines that cover the salary for the supported employee and the employer's part of the EI & CPP payments. So, that's how we handle the Accounting side.

In the Payroll setup, we just set up a new employee, created the employee pay item lines for the salary, the employee EI, the employer's EI, etc. and linked them to the appropriate accounting lines we had set up.

I hope this explains how we did it. Let me know if you need me to write it all out in detail to make it more clear.
