The Split Earnings by Location feature allows you to separate earnings by region for your organisation's auto-paid salaried employees. Within the Pay Run, the platform will create separate earning lines to calculate the earnings split per location. It will then flow through to your chart-of account journals and payroll reports.

Further information
You can only split earnings for auto-paid salaried employees. Auto-paid means that they have the Pay these Earnings by Default in a Pay Run tick box selected on their Employee file Pay Run defaults page.
You also must have the employee's primary pay category configured as an hourly, daily, monthly, or annual unit type and you cannot split earnings for timesheet employees or those on advanced standard hours.
When the employee’s primary location changes, the platform will replace the old primary location with the new primary location. If you delete the employee's primary location, the platform will ask you to confirm this action via a pop-up which warns you that there are employees with split earnings against the location in question.
