FIXED DAY RATE

I'm having trouble adding a new payroll wage category for a FIXED DAY RATE.  ie. we will be paying some employees a fixed day rate (not hourly) for being on call.  I can set up the new category, however it only allows me to choose an hourly rate - not per day.

has anyone come across this before & able to assist?

thanks

Nat

    hi NATTYMAC 

     

    The ATO site says overtime

    • on-call allowance outside of ordinary hours allowance – this should be reported as overtime

    Hi NATTYMAC 

     

    Even though it says hourly there you would just put in the amount they are going to get paid for the day of being on call.

     

    If they were on call one week Monday and Wednesday, then when processing the pay you would enter 2 in the hours.

      thanks Julie - where do I enter the dollar amount that they receive?

        Hi NATTYMAC 

         

        In  the fixed hourly rate. then attach the employees that will ever be on call.

         

        Then when they are on call you enter the number of days they were on call.
