Monitoring Not Required

This is a check box to define if the job order is monitored for AWR. If this check box is checked on, the system will not generate any clock history records and the parity rates will not be available in the job order rate section.

  • When a job template is created, it will use the Country Hierarchy Monitoring Not Required for Payee Types default settings to determine if this flag is automatically applied based on the job template’s Payee Tax Type.

  • The flag setting can be changed at any point and any new jobs generated using the job template will inherit the flag. If you change this flag against a job template that has a Payee Type that should have AWR rules applied or vice versa, you will be warned but it will still allow the update to occur.

Job Role Comparator

A free text field to add the comparable job role.

  • This is an optional field.

Enhanced Holiday Override

If the comparable job has a higher holiday accrual percentage than the agency worker has with your agency, they are entitled to receive the comparable job’s accrual rate during the time that they are at parity.

Due to the configurability of the system’s leave module, this field will accept any numeric value. So, if your leave accrual rule is set accrue at 12.07%, and a value of 6 is entered into this field because the end user thinks they need to enter 6 weeks of entitlement, when the payee reaches parity, it will accrue at 6% as the system will replace the 12.07%.

Therefore, instruction must be given to Front Office users how to determine the accrual percentage. For example, if payees are entitled to receive 5.6 weeks of leave, the percentage is calculated as:

52 weeks in a year minus 5.6 weeks of leave = 46.4 Total Working Weeks

(5.6 / 46.4) * 100 = 12.07%

If the comparable job was entitled to 6 weeks per year:

52 weeks in a year minus 6 weeks of leave = 46 Total Working Weeks

(6 / 46) * 100 = 13.04%

  • Can be left blank. If left blank, the Payroll Module will use the accrual rate set on the Leave Type when the payee reaches parity.

  • The value entered will be used as the replaced accrual rate in the Pay Batch at the Accrual Stage when the payee reaches parity.
