Summary

The W. Days Worked allowance type depends on the company’s leave settings. This allowance type records how the average days worked in a pay period are calculated.

The average days worked may come from T&A or be entered manually during transaction entry. If it is not entered manually, then PayGlobal defaults the 'Days Worked' to the employee's profiled hours on the Payments tab page.

This is used in leave calculations and for reporting purposes.

Allowance type 'W' transactions are used for:

• Casuals or other employees without profiled hours.
• An override for employees whose days worked differ from their profiled hours.

This type of allowance is always set as Non-Paying in the Details (i) tab page of an allowance.

Profiled Hours

Some employees, for example casuals, do not have profiled hours. Check the hours shown in the days in the Payments tab page of the employee record to see if an employee has profiled hours.

Transactions for these employees should use an allowance type 'W'.

Why not use Hourly or Salary transactions?

Transactions using an hourly or salary type transaction do not record the hours worked by an employee.

This will impact on leave calculations and reports.
