Pay items: Percentage of hourly/normal rate

[reneehouk]

An option to calculate penalty rates (including weekend rates and leave loading) as a percentage of the hourly rate through the Pay Item/Earnings section needs to be created - it would save many hours when setting up employees for any industry that has multiple penalty rates and will still save time for any industry who must pay leave loading.

In the Pay Items/Earning sections the following fields are required.

Name: [LEAVE AS IS]

Name for payslip: (auto feeds from Name: [can still be modified if preferred])

Rate: Per hour/Fixed Amount/Percentage (of hourly rate)

Amount: 

Tax: 

This would save MANY hours of set up and was available in previous versions of MYOB (Previously used Premier 19).
