New: Pro-Rated Salary Auto-Payments

We have released a new feature to facilitate

pro-rated auto-payments for salaried staff members who begin or end their employment part-way through an active pay cycle

For this functionality to operate, the following fields must be configured in an employee’s profile:

The employee must be Salaried.
‘Contracted Weekly Hours’ must exist.
An ‘Employment Start/End Date’ must exist (and be part-way through an active pay cycle).

Further, your salary allocation settings should be configured to ‘

Split evenly by rostered days

’ (manage this via

Settings > General Settings

). We plan to make this functionality compatible with all salary allocation settings eventually, but, currently, this setting must be enabled.

From here, the functionality works as follows. Let’s say a salaried employee is contracted to work 38 hours per week and earn $1000. However, they are finishing part-way through your current pay cycle and, as such, are only rostered to work 19 hours. In this case, the pro-rated payment would automatically be 50% ($500) as they only worked half of their contracted hours.

On Rosters and Timesheets, this applies as follows:

Roster costing is calculated as a percentage of the employee’s total salary, based on rostered hours compared to worked hours.
Timesheets will match the cost of the actual worked hours. For example, if an employee was rostered for 24 hours but actually worked 30 hours, they should be paid for worked hours when pro-rated.
The employee’s Payslip will always match the Timesheet cost.
