Salary of a Daily Rated Employee
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.
Step 1: Set Up the Daily Rated Pay Group
For fortnightly pay groups where the value in this field is normally 80, 10 should be entered representing 10 days.
Step 2: Enter Salary Changes
When entering the salary for daily paid workers, you must 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.

Step 3: Enter the days worked for the cycle
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.

Step 4: Run the Payroll
When the pay cycle is run, the employee's pay profile is automatically updated with the employee's salary and correct unit rate as shown below.
The system will multiply the number of days worked in the cycle by the daily rate, stored in the "Unit Rate" field in the employee profile.
