Enables you to use a weekly method for calculating average pay and hours, regardless of the employee’s pay frequency.

Weekly Tax Calendar

Enter or select the weekly tax calendar to be used by the average pay calculation to identify the week the relevant temporary and/or fixed pay elements should be allocated to. The temporary pay element end date will be compared to the weekly tax calendar period start and end dates to ascertain which week it should be allocated to for those pay elements flagged for average pay purposes.

Number of Weeks in Arrears

This holds the number of weeks prior to the start of the current pay period which will be indexed and used when searching through weekly calendar in order to match and associate a backdated timesheet hours to a week from the weekly pay period calendar. It is used as a performance tuning tool within the weekly assignment process in the pay calculate routine.

Note: The Number of Weeks in Arrears is not used in the calculation of average pay and hours for absence.

Example:

A company processes a monthly payroll which as part of the normal business process needs to include backdated timesheet hours from up to four weeks in the past. In this case the Number of Weeks in Arrears parameter should be set to 4. The pay calculate will process timesheets from the current period and up to four weeks in the past. However if a timesheet was submitted for inclusion in the pay calculate from, for example, three months in the past then this one transaction will be also selected, but by looking back through the years and months defined in the Tax Calendar until the right week is found.
