To properly account for payroll related expense, we would like to:

  1. Account for non-project (non-billable) labor in 3 distinct buckets
    1. Indirect Labor (Overhead): Supervision, Maintenance, Engineering 
    2. Direct labor (direct employees nonbillable hours) (not Labor COGs)
    3. SG&A labor
  2. Differentiate straight time, premium time, vacation time, and holiday time

It would look something like this.

  Reg Time OT Holiday Vacation Bonus Benefits Work Comp Project/ Billable
Direct 61010 61020 62800 62710 61030 62110 62400 52000
Indirect 61040 61050 62800 62710 61060 62110 62410 52000
SGA 71010 71040 72810 72710 71030 72110 72410 52000

As a follow-up to my own question, we setup three sets of earning type codes 1) direct, 2) indirect, and 3) SG&A then set payroll preferences > account preferences > use earnings account from “earnings type”
