Use the Departments screen to set up payroll departments for a client. Payroll departments in Accounting CS are client-specific and represent profit centers or divisions held accountable for the management of their own revenues and expenses. Even if the client does not actually have multiple departments, you can use departments to group employees who work in different physical locations or who represent different job families.

Choose Setup > Departments.
