Manage Payroll Cost Centers

You can view information about the Payroll Cost Centers that were synced to Time Tracking from ProviderPro.

If you sync Payroll Cost Centers from ProviderPro, do not add, delete or make changes to the Payroll Cost Center settings that sync within Time Tracking. The changes will be overwritten the next time the sync runs. Make changes to the Payroll Cost Center information that syncs in ProviderPro. To make Payroll Cost Center settings read only in Time Tracking turn on the Disable Synced Properties Default setting in Options.

Staff select a Payroll Cost Center when they are documenting time worked without clients or non-worked time. The Payroll Cost Centers available to staff to select from when logging staff time worked without clients and non-worked time are set in the Data Collection Type assigned to their Staff Permission Group or in the Staff Permission Group itself.

Payroll Cost Centers are included in the export file that is later imported into ProviderPro Payroll Wage Entries.
