It would be nice if there was an option to allow an employee who works within several different departments to group their wages/check from each department together, but still be able to print a department report based on what departments they worked in. Right now if an employee works in several different departments you have to set them up with a different employee # for each department that they work in, which makes the employee receive several different checks and W-2's instead of just one. This also messes up the taxes because the system is taxing them on the gross for each department instead of all wages combined for each department. So, when they file a tax return at the end of the year their withholding is a lot less than it should be based on their total gross wages for all departments combined.

• Try looking at payroll data entry. Notice that on each line there is a field for overriding the department for each line which should accomplish what you are looking for.

• I do that but it only separates the employer taxes by department not everything else. (Gross, 941, 940 and state unemployment)Also, it doesn't allow you to override the deductions only earnings. I need it to separate everything from earnings, taxes and deductions by department.
