Further information

What earnings can I split by location?

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.

What happens if the employee's primary location changes?

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.
