Enables you to set up costing information for the currently selected structure unit.

General

On-Cost Percentage

If required, enter the on cost (overhead) percentage you want to apply to employees linked to the structure unit.

The value held in the on-cost percentage will be used to increase the amount to be costed. If the value is zero, no on costing will occur. If the value is blank, ResourceLink searches up through the hierarchy until a value (including zero) is found, or until it reaches the Control Group, whichever it finds first.

Note: On-costing is only applied to a specific pay element if it is switched on (with a value of P) both in the On Cost Indicator field (below) and the Costing Details window of Pay Element Definition.

On Cost Indicator

Enter P to enable a percentage on cost (overhead) to be applied to the structure unit, or enter N to prevent an on cost being applied.

Note: Before you can apply an on cost to a structure unit, the On Cost field for the applicable pay elements must be set to P.

On Cost Contra Code

Enter the cost code against which the contra payments for the structure unit’s on costs are to be allocated.

Ee's Cost Spread Meth

If required, ResourceLink can be set up to spread employee's costs across all posts based on contract hours, rather than the whole figure being charged to the main post. This field allows you to override this behaviour for the selected structure unit.

Enter one of the following:

• The costs are charged to the main post that is effective on the pay date.
• The costs are charged to the employee.
• Spreads the costs across all posts that are effective on the pay date, based on contract hours.
• Spreads the costs across all posts that are valid for the cost period, based on contract hours and number of valid days.

The default costing behaviour is specified by setting the Ee's Cost Spread Method field in Costing.

Note: The costing spread behaviour can also be overridden for a post in the Employee Post Holding Details window.
