NMW Parameters

Include In NMW

This check box is optional.

Select this check box to include all employees in the selected control group in the minimum wage check. Leaving this check box blank will indicate that the control group will be excluded from the check. If this check box is selected for a control group where it was not previously selected, then you must set the calculation type and effective date in NMW Calculation Type Effective Dates.

The value of the Include in NMW field in Employee NMW Details will override this check box. For example, if the control group is included in the check, but the Include in NMW field in Employee NMW Details is N, then that employee will be excluded from the check and the rest of the control group will be included.

If this check box is selected and the employee has not been overridden to be excluded, this will enable National Minimum Wage (NMW)/National Living Wage (NLW) Check Window to be viewed.
