Hey Ali, 

Thanks for using Sage City. 

We don't currently have a documented procedure for setting up zero hours contract employees, however I have noted your feedback.

With Sage Payroll, a zero-hours contract will prevent you from defining a working pattern for your employee. Instead, complete the pay run as normal to the Pay screen, and add a new payment. Set the payment category as Hourly Payments and the payment type as Basic Hours. This is how you will handle any zero hours contract employee payments. 

If you have any other queries around setting up your employees or require further support from our chat service, you can find help here: Help Centre.

appreciated.

An is there any easy way to input their working hours on a weekly basis but pay the on the monthly basis?

Do we need to calculate their holiday pay or it will be calculated based on the inputted hours?

Regards,

Absolutely, you can set up the pay calendar so that you pay the employee monthly, you can then log into Payroll on a weekly basis and edit the existing monthly pay run. Simply adjust the amount of hours they have worked that week then this will save automatically. You can edit the pay run as many times as you like before you commit to your finalised monthly submission. 

Holiday pay won't be tracked automatically, I'd recommend reading our step by step guide to processing holiday pay that you can find here: Holiday Pay. 

Hope this helps!

Hi, i also have a Zero hours staff member for the first time this month and do not have the options as stated      ...

Set the payment category as Hourly Payments and the payment type as Basic Hours.

I only have "Employment Type ,  Salary,  & Payment Frequency and none of them show "hourly" for anything.

The only options i have are Weekly, Monthly etc

What should i do please, do i leave the payment type BLANK ?
