Hi Trav9999,
Thanks for explaining how you set your payroll settings. You’re not misunderstanding it, The "
Automatically adjust base hourly or base salary details" setting is really meant for pay items using the same rate as Base Hourly, or leave-style categories. If the pay item is set to 1.5x or 2x, it can throw the base amount out.
For a shift allowance, I’d leave Automatically adjust base hourly or base salary details unticked and treat the shift item as a separate higher-rate wage line instead. If you want the base hours reduced automatically as part of the same setup, there isn’t another supported way to do that cleanly with a multiplier pay item.
If that’s something you’d like to see supported, it’d be worth popping it on the Ideas Board as well.
Regards,
Genreve
