General Payroll Accounting Codes Information
With the exception of the “Holiday Accrual” and “Vacation Accrual”, each Expense Type Group is broken down into the following rows:
- 1st row: Expenses - Codes added on this row will show on the Digital Timecard.
For example, to preset Timecard coding for a box rental, add a code in the first row of the Box Rental Expense Type group. - 2nd row: Generic Fringes. The account code of all fringes, when not specified otherwise.
Note: If labor fringe is defined and unique fringe coding per Expense Type Group is not defined, coding of fringes from the respective group will match the fringe account coding of the labor line. - 3rd through 6th rows: “Fringe Breakout”
-
- Worker’s Compensation
- State Tax
- Federal Tax
- Payroll Fee
- Pension & Welfare
-
The Fringe row and Fringe Breakout rows are used to code items that don’t appear on Digital Timecards but are visible on Payroll Reports or when Posting Payroll.
The “Generic Fringe” row is used to code all fringes unless a code has been provided on a “Fringe Breakout” row. Example:
Fringe associations to Expense Type groups are managed by GreenSlate and apply to all projects.
Deductions
Coding defaults for some deductions may also be added. Deductions are located on the “Deductions” tab of the Account Codes panel, and default accounting codes may be defined for Retirement, Medical, Transit, and Other.
Expense Type Group Associations
For a code to appear when a Day Type or Other Earning is added to a timecard, the code must be preset on a specific row of the grid.
Associations follow logical rules, allowing users to fill out the grid instinctively.
