Enables you to specify parameters for calculating Normal Pay and/or Additional Pay. This window is only available if the Absence Pay Calc Method or Additional Pay Calc Method field in Leave Management Parameters is set to A or E.

Paging Area

Payroll Type

Enter the pay type code for which you want to calculate Normal Pay and/or Additional Pay, or select one from the drop-down list. The options are set up in the PAYTYP narrative category.

Number of Periods / Payslips

Enter the number of pay periods or payslips to go back prior to the absence start date, over which you want to average the salary paid to calculate the Normal Pay and/or Additional Pay figure. This number is used in conjunction with the code entered in the previous field. For example, if you entered M (for monthly) and three, Normal Pay would be calculated by averaging the salary paid over the last three months or payslips prior to the absence start date.

For the pay type code W (for weekly), a warning message is shown if the number of payslips entered is greater than 104. From April 2020 (UK legislation), the number of weeks over which average pay is calculated is extended to 52 with a maximum number of weeks set at 104.

Note: If the number of pay periods or payslips found is less than what is specified, the system averages the total payment by the number found.

O/T %age

This field is only displayed for the Average Daily Earnings pay calculation method. Enter the percentage of average daily pay that the average overtime payment must exceed, in order that the employee's overtime is included in their average daily pay calculation.
