We have recently facilitated managed templates containing minimum paid hours rules. Put simply, this feature allows us to ensure users are paid the difference between their contracted weekly hours and their total ordinary hours worked for the period.
These rules will be ignored and turned off by default, so, if you would like to enable this feature, you will need to navigate to:
Time and Attendance -> Compliance -> Award Template -> Manage -> Manage Award Conditions -> Edit.
You will then see the following:
If this template supports minimum paid hours (not every template does), you will see the option here. To enable this feature, ensure the toggle
is set to the off/disabled position and click save to update your changes.
You may also want to enable the setting 'Use Overtime Averaging Period for Minimum Paid Hours calculations', accessible by navigating to
Settings > Timesheet Settings > Show Advanced Settings.
NOTE:
Some users may be used to turning on the 'enable exporting timesheet alterations' setting to get this feature working for custom award rules.
Please be aware that this setting has no bearing
on the managed template version of this feature.
For example, Bob has 40 contracted weekly hours and is on an award with this feature turned on. He works 37 ordinary hours that week. His timesheet will now contain a timesheet alteration, being paid at the regular hourly rate times two. You can see how this would be displayed on a timesheet view under the Alterations section in this example:
