The Kwik-Pay award structure allows common pay rates and leave entitlements to be created for groups of employees, saving the chore of updating pay rates for individuals when they change.
You can define any number of different awards. Each award to split into classifications, which are categories of employees within the award. For instance, a clerical award may have different classifications for 'under 18', '18 to 20', '20 and over' and 'manager'. There can be any number of classifications within each award. Classifications are defined separately.
The pay rates and leave entitlements for each classification are effective dated, which means that the pay rate or leave entitlement will not be used in any calculations until the first pay date on or after the effective date.
If an employee has leave entitlements entered in the payee, leave details screen, those entitlements will be used in place of the award leave entitlements.
If an employee has pay rates entered in the payee, pay details screen, those rates will be used in place of the award pay rates.
