Typical Employee

 

This section allows the user to create settings that will be used as the default when adding a new employee. They can of course be changed on an individual basis if required. These settings are:


1) Typical Pay Frequency 

2) Typical Pay Basis

3) Typical Pay Method

4) Typical Annual Leave Year Starts

5) Typical Annual Leave Calculation Method

6) Typical Annual Leave Entitlement

7) Typical Annual Leave Carry-Over

8) Typical Working Days

9) Typical Minimum Wage Profile 


10) Minimum Wage - untick the box if you would like to turn off minimum wage flagging where hourly paid employees are paid below minimum wage.  

11) Works Numbers - tick if you would like the software to automatically generate works numbers using your own custom settings, which can set up here.

12) Tax refunds - by default, the payroll system will not give a tax refund to an employee who has zero pay. If you wish to give your employees who are on a cumulative basis a tax refund when their pay is zero simply un-tick this box.

13) Sick Pay - if your company has its own Sick Pay Scheme and you wish to operate your own scheme rather than HMRC's Statutory Sick Pay scheme, tick this box to not pay SSP by default.

14) RTI BACS Sub-Reference - tick this field if you would like the software to automatically assign a BACS sub-reference to each payslip.
