    Hi Accounts12341 

     

    Thanks for your post. It's not possible for AccountRight to automatically calculate the shortfall hours and make the required pay adjustments. You would need to manually enter those adjustments when processing the 4th pay.

     

    To keep track of extra hours you could look at creating a payroll category with a Fixed Hourly rate of $0.00. When processing pays you'd enter any unpaid hours against that category, eg, 38 hours to Base Hourly and 4 hours to Unpaid/Extra/To be paid Hours. You could then run the Payroll Activity detail report which gives a breakdown of the hours allocated to each payroll category.

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.
