    Hi soph00 

     

    We don't typically get a lot of ACE Payroll questions on the Forum as these calls are typically directly through to our dedicated NZ Payroll phone team. However, I've asked the team on your behalf and the recommendation from them would be not to tick that work irregular hours option* and use their contracted hours as the basis for their normal hours/leave. By doing that method i.e using their contract hours, if they are working more hours this will impact the annual leave rate calculation that is used (increased in hours would increase the average weekly earnings).

     

    *You typically use the work irregular hours option if they are legitimately working odd hours i.e. hospitality industry for example.
