IT Department Allocation definition
IT Department Allocation. Three allocations make up the IT Department's allocation. Infrastructure expenses are allocated based on the headcount of the companies and departments which the IT Department has the responsibility of supporting. The headcount list is supplied by the Payroll Department and is updated monthly. Help Desk expenses are allocated based on the number of calls to the Help Desk every month. A monthly call summary is supplied by the IT Department. Programming Expenses are allocated based on the monthly timesheets that the programmers in the IT Department complete. The Payroll Department supplies a monthly timesheet summary report for their time. Since the H/R and O/S allocations are completed prior to the IT Department allocation, they are not included in the calculation of the IT Department's allocation.
