Payroll

1. Consider an allowance that is calculated as a percentage of a rate. The system will now calculate the hours on which to calculate the allowance as the hours worked plus leave hours rather than defaulting to the standard hours on the employee master record.
2. Consider when the Include in Leave Loading checkbox is ticked for an allowance. Previously loading was calculated for the allowance irrespective of whether or not the employee was paid leave in the current pay. Now loading is only calculated when the employee is paid annual leave. The portion of the allowance that attracts loading is the pro-rata of annual leave hours to total ordinary hours paid.
3. Leave loading paid on an allowance is now reported on a separate line on the payslip and Payroll Register.
