    Hi Doreen,

     

    Thank you for replying.

     

    I think I have managed to sort it out.

     

    I created a new Payroll Catergory - 9 Day F/N Wednesday Day Off = $0.00 (Fixed Hourly Rate)

    Our business hours are 8.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday with an unpaid meal break .5 Hour = 42.5 Hrs

    Our staff member is now working 38 Hours over 9 Days.

    Fortnightly he will finish at 4.30pm Friday (1st Early Finish -Friday 9/2/2024) and take a permanent RDO fortnightly (1st RDO Wednesday 14/2/2024).

     

    When I set up the Payroll Category - I selected the "Exempt" Tab and ticked Holiday Leave Accrual, Long Service Leave and Sick Leave Accrual. The entitlements are not changing when I enter the 8.5 Hours for his Rostered Day Off.

     

    As we're paying him weekly (not fortnightly) I have set it up as follows from a post I read by another MYOB Moderator.

     

    Week 1 - Thursday 1/2/2024 to Wednesday 7/2/2024 = 42.5 Base Hourly

    Week 2 - Thursday 8/2/2024 to Wednesday 14/2/2024 = 33.5 Base Hourly + 8.5 Hours @ $0.00 (RDO)

     

    After working through these calculations to run last weeks payrun I couldn't see the need to set the RDO up as an ACCRUAL I just want to show the RDO Hours on his pay slip. His RDO is locked into our roster permanently.

     

    If you have a moment to comment - I'd appreciate your feedback.

     

    Many Thanks again.
