Summary

Awards Allowance Rules are used primarily for the T&A component of PayGlobal as opposed to Award Payroll Rules that deal with the processing of employee payments.

Editing Fields

We recommend that the values set on this tab page are not altered. They have been constructed by your PayGlobal Consultant in accordance with the requirements of an award used by your organisation. Severe impact could result from changes made here.

Fields

Allowance:

This is the allowance that will be used when an allowance rule is activated.

Rank:

PayGlobal uses a numeric, then alpha ordering system to apply rules in. It uses the value in this field to determine when, in the context of all rules set for an award, a particular rule should be applied. For example, a rule with rank '1A' is applied before rank 'A'.

Unranked rules are processed before ranked rules.

Rostering, Actuals:

These fields specify whether or not award allowance rules apply to Rostering and/or Actuals.

Validate Roster, Validate Actuals:

Your PayGlobal Consultant can set up specific rules that check all criteria in a Roster or in Actuals.

Breakdown Roster:

Used for Labour Budgeting. If this field is Yes, then payments generated from the Timeband will contain a start time and an end time. The award rule for rosters will generate an hourly allowance.

Breakdown Actuals:

Used for Labour Budgeting. If this field is Yes, then payments generated from the Timeband will contain a start time and an end time. The award rule for Actuals will generate an hourly allowance.

For example:

A 09:00 to 16:30 Timeband has a 30-minute break from 12:00 to 12:30.

If Breakdown Actuals = Yes, then PayGlobal generates two ordinary payments when you process Actuals:

• 09:00 to 12:00
• 12:30 to 16:30

The Current Actual Allowance table will contain two transactions. The company can determine daily wage costs in hourly segments in the Labour Budgeting spreadsheet.
