For non salaried employees who get a daily rate as opposed to an hourly rate, the following configuration must be done in order for the system to calculate the correct salary.
1. Set up of Pay Group
Powerpay>>Maintenance>>Payroll Setup>>Pay Groups
Enter the number of days in the cycle in the "Hours in cycle" field.
For fortnightly pay groups where the value in this field is normally 80, 10 should be entered representing 10 days.
2. Salary Changes
When entering the salary for daily paid workers, you need to enter the total amount for the cycle, which should be the resulting amount of multiplying the daily rate by the days in the cycle, for example 50 x 10= 500. This will allow the system to store the daily rate under "Unit Rate" which will be used in each cycle run to calculate the salary of the cycle.
Powerpay>>Employee>>Employee>>Current Payroll data>>Pay profile
Personnel>>Personnel>>Transactions>>Salary Changes
- In the Salary Change Details box select "Salary Change" and "Units".
- Save the record.
3. Enter the days worked for the cycle
Powerpay>>Process Payroll>>Cycle Changes
In order to process payment for the employee at the end of the cycle, you need to indicate how many days the employee worked. This is done with a Timesheets entry under the payroll code defined for the payment of straight time.
The system will multiply the numbers of days worked in the cycle by the daily rate, stored in the "Unit Rate" field in the employee profile.
