Version 5.0.0, Build 317 - Release date 20/10/2020
- New ruleset penalty condition
Added a new penalty condition to cater to the Nurses Award 2010 (29.1 Shift penalties) to allow for afternoon shifts where the penalty rate only applies if a rostered shift end passes the set time.
- Penalty (Shift Starts - Shift Ends After)
- Loading (Shift Starts - Shift Ends After)
The following example will pay employees a penalty rate of an additional 12.5% Monday to Friday if they
1. Start their shift on or after midday.
2. Finish the shift on or after 6 pm.
Important notes
- In the example above if the employee's shift finishes prior to 6 pm they will not receive this penalty.
- The penalty applies only if the employee's shift time meets the requirements, if the employee clocks their times outside of this condition and it needs to be applied then their rostered times will need to be adjusted to apply the penalty. - Payroll filter by departments.
Fixed the payroll screen to allow the sorting of employees by their default departments from the payroll screen.
