If you have an employee who frequently works on several jobs in a single pay period, you may want to distribute employee pay to more than one job. AccountEdge, offers three ways to distribute employee pay to one job or to multiple jobs.
If you want to distribute employee pay to the same job for every payment for the employee, you can set up the job allocation to recur. That is, you'll assign the job number to the payroll category using the Card Information window: Payroll Details view - Recurring Pay.
