calculating salary by job first you must put in the pay period dates on the time by job report
we learned about this report in a previous video it's down here and when you open it up it shows
the results of everything however let's imagine that we want to find out the salary expense
specifically for the Mary Thomas job for the pay period of May 1 till May 15th well that's very
simple we go to the time by job report and we put the from date as May 1 excuse me the from date as
May 1 and the to date as May 15th then we click refresh and you can see all the jobs and all the
hours done just between these dates which is the current pay period if we scroll down we can see
everything specifically for the Mary Thomas job her job begins up here and ends down here where
it says total Mary Thomas and you can see there were 18 hours done some by Dave some by Steve
and some again by Dave but the total was 18 for the Mary Thomas job in our first example we will
imagine a very easy situation if we know the total for Mary Thomas is 18 hours we could imagine that
if both Dave and Steve got paid the same rate per hour then it would be very easy to calculate how
much money of salary should be assigned to the Mary Thomas job for that particular pay period if
we assume both of the workers get $20 an hour then all you have to do is multiply the hourly rate of
20 our times the 18 hours for the Mary Thomas job and then you would have three hundred and sixty
dollars of this pay periods salary allocated to the Mary Thomas job that means that when we record
the payroll we record the money being taken from our account by the payroll company we should make
sure that we allocate three hundred and sixty dollars specifically for the Mary Thomas job
exactly the way it was shown in a previous video but wait what if the two workers get a different
rate per hour what if Steve gets 20 an hour but Dave gets 30 an hour well you have a choice you
could use a calculator or you could use Excel if you use a calculator here are the steps you
go back to the report time by job and you look at only the hours for Dave for the Mary Thomas
job then it's easy to calculate you can see that Dave worked seven plus six hours for the Mary
Thomas job that's a total of 13 hours for Mary Thomas during this pay period 13 times Dave's
hourly rate 30 equals 390 so for this pay period just for Dave you have 390 dollars of salary for
the Mary Thomas job then you can see that Steve only worked five hours during this pay period for
the Mary Thomas job so Steve our Steve's hours for Mary Thomas during this pay period or five
five times Steve's hourly rate of twenty five is a hundred and twenty five that means the total
salary for this pay period for Mary Thomas job is five hundred and fifteen dollars and that means
that five hundred and fifteen dollars would be the amount that goes in the field of a mount next to
payroll expense for the Mary Thomas job when you record the check for paying the payroll company
