Departments

Overview

HR Alliance allows for up to 5 levels of Cost Center hierarchy and an unlimited number of Cost Centers within each level.  Each level can have a customized name to match the name that the level represents within your company hierarchy.  The page allows you to add remove or edit Cost Center items but it does not allow you to add or remove levels of hierarchy.   If you need to add or remove an entire level or change the name of a level please call or email your representative for assistance.

As a general rule we recommend that any piece of labor allocation information that needs to flow through to your company’s general ledger should be set up as a Cost Center within the system.  Employees are given a home cost center on the Employment page but employee labor can be split into multiple cost centers either on a scheduled basis on the Labor Allocation page or on a per item basis when payroll is imported or entered.

The box at the top of the page is used to select which cost center level to work with.

Fields
