Summary

If you attempt to save a new employee record before you complete the compulsory fields, then the Standard Employee Fields form appears.

See Adding an Employee Record.

Fields

Employee status: Mandatory field. Groups employees by their employment classification. For example, 'Full-time', 'Part-time', or 'Casual'. The Statistics report uses this field to determine the classification of the employee.

Total profiled hours: Mandatory field. The number of hours that the employee will regularly work each week. PayGlobal uses profiled hours to calculate leave and other entitlements.

Pay type: Mandatory field. How the employee is paid. For example, 'Salaried' or 'Waged'.

Pay method: Mandatory field. The method that is used to pay the employee. For example, 'Direct Credit' or 'Cash'.

Bank account: The employee's bank account number.

Pay Period: Mandatory. The frequency of the employee's pay cycle. For example, ' Weekly' or 'Monthly'.

Contract: The employee's employment contract. An employment contract can be either individual or collective. When you save a new employee record with a contract attached, the following message appears:

"Copy across Contract defaults?"

Click 'Yes' if you want to apply the settings associated with the contract to the new employee.

Union: The union that the new employee belongs to.

Award: You can use awards to control pay rates, and specific allowance and deduction rates for all employees on an award. An employee does not need to belong to an award because their rate of pay can be defined on the Rates tab of their employee record.

Start date: The day the new employee commences employment. This date is used to calculate leave entitlements.

Date of birth: Employee's date of birth.
