Double time calculation

Hi Rav,
The rate showing on the left of the multiplier should that be the rate inclusive of the multiplier or the base rate (before being multiplied) for penalty rates?
It would make sense to me to be the actual rate that is to be paid i.e. $54.52 for double time ($27.26 * 2).
However, when you look at the bottom calculation circled in red; the calculation is not correct:
$54.52 * 5.5 = $299.86 not $599.72.
It's effectively applying the multiplier twice.
If I manually change the rate to the base rate of $27.26 it calculates correctly; however, I wouldn't have thought you should have to override this figure each time you pay double time?
It's set-up correctly in their employee profile?

Hi Kali
When you created this pay run, did you select the option to do so using the Default Pay Items selection since you've prefilled the employee's pay items via their Pay Setup.
OR did you select the option to create the pay run by adding the pay items manually?
If you select the option to create the pay run using the Default Pay Items (if you didn't previously) can you confirm whether the same thing above occurs? I don't believe it should but let me know either way.

Hi Rav,
I used the second item.
It's too painful when you use option 1 as you have to manually delete all the fields you don't want.
And option 3, doesn't include things like employee deductions that we need for some employees and not others.
Cheers,
Kali

Hi Rav,
Any update on this one?
FWIW - i think all customers should be advised of this as if they're not manually calculating this themselves and correcting they will be overpaying staff.
I had to use the time & half multiplier this morning and again - the calculation was incorrect.

Hi Kali
Yes, our dev team have been working on this over the course of last week and its currently going through testing. Following that, it'll be released into Reckon Payroll so it shouldn't be too far off, I'd estimate within 2 weeks or sooner if everything goes well 🤞
