Hourly to Salary

Melina Davies

We are changing from hourly to salary.

I have changed it in the "Raises & Promotions" is this the correct way??

When I go into do the pays its automatically there but do I need to put in the hours or I don't need too??

What happens when someone uses their personal or holiday leave do I put that under personally salary or personally hours as when I click on to personally salary is splits the salary and personally salary.

I look forward to hearing from someone.

Cheers Melina

Hi Melina

Unfortunately, those other areas of the employee record are really only internal for generating specific reports within the Employee Organiser

Salary Payroll Items simply calculate pro rata for the same gross amount each pay based on a fixed annual figure.

It depends how you have it set in your Preferences (there’s an option there to still be able to enter hours for Salary Payroll Items) & also whether you have selected Per Hour for Leave Accruals in the employee’s record.

NB: I strongly recommend ensuring all Leave Accruals are set as Per Hour - This ensures they will always calculate correctly regardless of any changes to an employee’s hours.

Thanks Shaz, how do I manually change the personal or holiday leave when someone takes leave. Also do I need to worry about public holidays??

You shouldn’t be manually changing it - Providing you are using Payroll Items that have been set up/configured correctly, your different Leave types should also be set to accrue/deduct automatically in each employee record as per my previous post (under the Leave section on the employee’s Payroll & Compensation tab)

eg When you pay an employee, that pay should automatically calculate pro rata leave accruals (preferably based on the hours you input) accordingly.

Similarly, when an employee takes (eg is paid for) any leave, you use the corresponding Leave Payroll Item which the system will then automatically deduct from the relevant Leave balance, again, preferably on the leave hours you input.

For public holidays …. Some people create a separate Payroll Item for Public Holidays, others just include them under the employee’s usual (Hourly or Salary) Payroll Item - That one’s just personal preference really 😊
