  5. Complete the fields in the Allocate Funds section as follows: 

    Field Description
    Allocation Method

    Radio buttons. Select one:

    • Amount

      To specify a regular currency value to be paid to the account.

    • Percentage

      To specify a fixed percentage value to be paid to the account. If you are adding details for more than one account the total allocated percentage must be less than or equal to 100.

    • Remainder

      To nominate this account as the receiving account for any amount remaining when other allocations have been made. Remainder becomes available for selection when at least one other account has been defined for the Team Member.

    Value

    Number, 16 digits and 2 decimal places.

    If Allocation Method is:

    • Amount, enter a currency value.

      • No constraints are applied to the value at the point of entry. Your payroll system provides validation against available funds.

    • Percentage, enter a percentage value between 1 and 100.

      If you are adding details for more than one account the total allocated percentage must be less than or equal to 100.

    • Remainder, you cannot enter a value. The value is automatically calculated when Amount and Percentage allocations have been made.

      If you select Remainder for a second account, the first Remainder account is automatically deactivated.

  6. If this is the first account you have defined, select Save.

    Sage People saves the bank details and redisplays the Employment Record Detail page.

    To add more bank details, repeat the process.

  7. If this is the second or a subsequent account you have defined, select Save and Prioritize.

    Prioritizing enables you to define the order in which funds are allocated to multiple accounts.

    • If funds are allocated exclusively by amount, available funds are distributed in priority order until the available amount is reduced to zero, or there is a remainder. Any remainder is then allocated to a defined remainder account.

    • If funds are allocated exclusively by percentage, available funds are divided in the proportions defined. If percentages sum to less than 100, any remainder is allocated to a defined remainder account.

    • If funds are allocated using a mix of amount and percentage, available funds are distributed in priority order by amount or percentage of funds remaining at that point in the distribution until the available amount is reduced to zero, or there is a remainder. Any remainder is then allocated to a defined remainder account.

    Sage People saves the bank details and displays the Bank details Define Priority page:

  9. When you have set the priority as you want it, select Save.
