Managing PR Salary Distribution

PR Salary Distribution allocates a salaried employee's pay across multiple jobs (and related costing) within a pay period when the employee works more than one job. It adjusts lines that you then review in PR Timecard Entry.

Before you start​

  • The employee's timecards for the pay period are entered in the target batch.
  • Jobs and phases exist and are valid for charging (same validation risks as timecard job lines: missing phases or cost types).
  • Earnings codes used for salary distribution are configured for that behavior on PR Earnings Codes when your setup requires the Salary Distribution flag.
  • Distribution percents for the employee are known and should total 100%.

Steps​

  1. Open PR Salary Distribution.
  2. Select the employee whose salary must be spread across jobs.
  3. Enter the percentage of salary for each job (example: five equal jobs = 20% each). Confirm the total is 100%.
  4. Click Process to adjust the timecards based on the distribution.
  5. Close the form and open the same batch in PR Timecard Entry. Review every adjusted line (job, phase, hours/amounts, states, rates).
  6. When the batch looks correct: File > Process Batch, validate, preview batch reports, then post.
  7. Continue with Executing the PR Payroll Process after salary distribution batches for the period are posted.

Notes​

  • Percentages that do not total 100% create job-cost and pay mismatches that are painful after payroll process.
  • Always review in Timecard Entry before posting; distribution is easier to reverse before post than after ledger update.

  • Honest partial: live Trimble Vista help was not browsable this run (JS/WAF on fetch; Task/computerUse unavailable to this executor). Depth expands the existing distribution steps and ties validation to timecard job rules. Re-pass from Trimble sidebar when Chrome browse is available.
