Paying out Holiday pay to an employee that is now casual
Hi, This employee was employed as a casual but i accidently didnt set them up as a casual. When i realised a few weeks later they had $38.42 owing to them in HP. I didn't pay this out then but just changed them to a casual. i am wanting to pay this out now but when i enter the 3 days in annual leave it tells current annual leave is zero. There is no $ value for total leave available either except -0.00. Can some one tell me how to deal with paying this out
Hi mounf
If the employee is a casual employee you would enter in 0 in the Normal days/week and hours/day field, which in turn would make the Normal Hours per week field to be 0.00. As the Normal Hours per week would be 0.00 you wouldn't have a Leave Accrued in Advanced since value.
Also, what is actually occurring with the holiday pay? Have you paid that out to the employee? If so, then you just need to update that Normal Hours per week and you should be good to go. If not, manually add back in the Holiday Pay Due value (i.e. Gross Earnings since x 8%). When you process their pay you would enter a 1 against their Holiday Pay (HP) pay code to pay that to the employee now (and in the future) - as they would be a casual employee).
