Employee turns 21 = new rate - do i need to do separate payrun for 20 rate + 21 rate

Reckon One Payroll question - I have an employee turning 21 in the middle of a pay period. This means her payrate under her award increases. Do I need to do a payrun for the days worked at the 20 year old rate and another payrun for the days worked at the 21 years old rate? Or do I pay her this full pay period at the 20 year old rate and increase it to the 21 year old rate next fortnight?

Hi @LWard, If you would like to pay the employee with different payrates on the same payrun then you may use the same earning item with different rates on multiple lines as shown in the screenshot. By default, the rate is picked up on the payrun from the employee's pay setup on this earning item. While selecting the same earning item on the 2nd line you may enter a custom rate by clicking on the earning item and selecting "No" under the "Use employee's rate?" section and the Rate field will be enabled for you to enter a custom rate. This way you should be able to override the default rate and use different pay rates for the employee under the same payrun. Please let us know how it goes.
