>GnuCash does not have a built-in payroll module but some people use it for payroll. Payroll calculation can be very difficult and is very locale specific. You might be able to use Scheduled Transactions for this but if your pay practices vary wildly, you might be better off doing the calculations in a spreadsheet, generating the resulting transaction, importing it to GnuCash and then printing your checks.

>As for tracking allowances automatically, you could utilize the Scheduled Transactions feature to generate a liability for each one as they are earned (similar to how cash pay is earned) and simply not approve the creation of the transaction for those who didn?t work that day/period.

>Not necessarily. You could just create two payroll expense accounts, one chargeable and one not-chargeable and split the payroll expense between the two. Then you can run the P&L report with only the chargeable account selected.
>
>Better still, have the employee keep a time sheet recording the time spent on each task and the bookkeeper can assign the expense to chargeable or not-chargeable depending on the actual time spent. That extends to other expenses as well.

>But using a P&L report for billing is weird. More normally you'd negotiate a billing rate for the employee's time and for whatever other expenses you incur and use the business features to generate invoices to the funding organization.
