Summary

The Employee Appointments | Details tab records the employee’s Work Area Position. PayGlobal copies the data in these fields to the Appointments tab page of a Work Area Position.

Fields

Work Area Position Code:

WAP that you are appointing the employee to. You can copy across default values from the WAP and its associated records when you save the Employee Appointments record (see Employees - Appointments).

Award:

Award associated with this appointment. However, you usually define the employee's pay rate on their Rates tab. PayGlobal can complete this field automatically when you save this record and copy across default values from the WAP.

Full-time equivalent:

Full-time factor for this appointment. You can enter the number of work hours per week or a proportional value. For example, you could enter 40.00 or 1.00 for a full-time position, and 30.00 or 0.75 for a part-time position.

Note: The Full time equivalent value is not used in any PayGlobal calculations.

Active:

• Yes - Employee’s current appointment. Job sharing may mean that an employee has two current/active appointments.
• No - Employee no longer performs the duties of this appointment.

  Note: If you change an appointment to Active = "No" and save the record, then PayGlobal disables the Active and Default fields so they cannot be edited.

Default:

• Yes - Employee’s default appointment.
• No - Not the employee’s default appointment.

An employee can have only one appointment with Active = "Yes" and Default = "Yes". However, they can have multiple appointments with:

• Active = "Yes" and Default = "No"
• Active = "No" and Default = "Yes"
• Active = "No" and Default = "No".

New Default Appointment

If you add or edit an appointment that has Default = "Yes" and Active = "Yes", and an existing appointment has these settings, then the following message appears:

"This employee already has a Default Appointment. Do you want to make this the new Default?"

• Yes - PayGlobal changes the settings in the existing appointment to Default = "No" and Active = "Yes", and posts the new appointment details to the employee’s record.
• No - PayGlobal changes the settings in the new or edited appointment to Default = "No".
