A cost center is a department, function, or role within an organization that does not directly add to profit but still generates costs for the organization. Cost centers only contribute to a company's profitability indirectly. They are often administrative, service, and support roles. The main use of a cost center is to track actual expenses for comparison to the budget.

Assign cost centers to employees
- Navigate to the Employee’s Profile > Personal > Work (section)
- At the bottom of the work section, click on "ADD COST CENTER"
- Enter the specific cost center and the quantity
In the following example, the employee works full time in customer service – hence the quantity will be 100%:
It is also possible that employees represent multiple cost centers. In this case, the employee works 50% in customer service and 50% in marketing, generating two different cost centers.
