Pay codes generally come with default cost centre assignments for accounting and reporting purposes. However, you may need to override these default allocations to ensure that payroll costs are charged to the correct department or project, based on where the employee actually works.

This override is essential when the employee's actual cost centre differs from the default setting of the pay code. To override the pay code's cost centre with the employee's cost centre, please follow these steps in Back Office:

  1. Click CorePay then click Reference,

  2. In the Pay Group field, enter the pay code he Pay Code.

  3. Under the Client Specific Deductions tab, check the box for Employee Cost Centre Posting for Deductions. The system will then record the employee's home Cost Centre in History.
