ANSWER ID:31384

Each employee has one default bank account set up for their wage payments (Maintenance > Maintain Employees > Employment Details). This bank account is always associated with the Direct Credit (DC) pay code.

If you need to split an employee's wages between multiple bank accounts, you will 'll need to set up a new payment type pay code for each additional bank account that the employee requires, then add that pay code to the employee's pay defaults.

Let's step you through it:

title1. Create the new Pay Code
  1. Go to the Maintenance command centre and click Maintain Pay Codes.
  2. Click New.
  3. For the Pay Code Type, select Payments.
  4. Name the Pay Code DC followed by the employee's initials, for example DC MACF as shown in the example below. Also enter a description as required.

  6. Click to highlight the new pay code in the Select a Pay Code list.
  7. Click the General tab.
  8. Enter the Default Pay Rate.
  9. Select the option Allow rate to be modified when entering pay details. This allows you to alter the amount at any timewhen entering the pay run, if required. See our example below.
