setting up a part-time employee

Question

Hi EveryoneWe are setting up a permanent part-time employee (4 days per week) who is being paid a fixed salary for 4 days so their pay will not be set up as hourly but as a salary (pro-rata). For example $100K pro-rata is $80K for 4 days.When setting up, in order to get the correct hourly rate appear on their payslip, do we simply enter the pro-rata salary (eg $80K) and then just reduce the hours in fortnightly pay to 60.80 hours (for 4 days) or is there a better way to do this?&nbsp;Thanks S&nbsp;

Hi smm,Good question — setting up salaried part-timers can definitely be a bit tricky at first.
&nbsp;
If your employee is working 4 days a week and being paid a pro-rata salary (e.g. $80K instead of $100K full-time), then yes — when setting them up, you'd enter $80K as their annual salary. That part’s spot on.
&nbsp;
Additionally, you should also adjust their standard hours per week. For example, if full-time is 38 hours/week and they’re working 4 days, you'd enter 30.4 hours/week (which is 80% of full-time)Here’s a bit more on that if you want to dive in: Changing an employee from full time, part time or casualRegards,Earl
