Summary

Proportional costing allows you to split the cost of an employee's allowance transactions between cost centres. You can apply proportional costing in a Standard or Manual pay, or to a permanent transaction. When you process the pay, PayGlobal applies the proportional costing split to allowance transactions for that employee. Proportional costing overrides the standard cost centre hierarchy.

Important: Proportional costing is applied only to allowances that have Allow proportional costing = 'Yes' on the Allowances - Details (iii) tab page.
