Payroll Wages Categories

Does anybody know of a way to add a wages payroll category that has a variable hourly rate?

 

I am in the childcare sector and we have something called the worker retention grant. Basically every worker based on their award level gets an increase set increase per hour for a 2 year period.

 

I am trying to create an additional wage hourly category that will allow me to set say $2.50 for one employee and $2.55 for another. I have over seventy staff and over 30 different award levels to cater for.

 

I know I could create a wage for each award level but this will add those 30 wage categorys that will be in there permanently even when not bewing used in future.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Hi marksef,

     

    Yes, that's definitely one way to manage your team's wages, although it might be a bit of a hassle to handle since these add ups to your list of categories.

     

     As of now, MYOB doesn't offer a built-in feature to automate assigning varied hourly rates for different employees without manually managing it. A workaround could be setting up a wage category with a fixed pay rate of zero and manually entering the amounts earned by each employee during each pay run. Alternatively, you can set the payroll category type to salary and input the total amount instead.

     

    Cheers,

    Princess

    This is going to be nightmare to manage. What about above award rates, overtime, holiday and sick entitlements. I am not looking forward to this, already so much admin work before we even get accepted for the Grant.
