Hi Cheza1,

Below is the Standard Method of Calculation, where the Salary is defined on Earning Line 01, and the amount defulats each pay period when you do a Start New Period:

The input on the Method of Calculation:

+ RDP

+ UD01 (or can be HD01, to save to Hours Screen line 1)

+ CLR (clears the line the 1st time when you enter a value the first time)

* Please be sure to test the calculation after setting it up.

Hi The method is already there but the fixed salary is R10 000 and then if i go to the salary line and i enter the days it decreases my salary instead of adding my salary and pro rata amount together?

This is what the calculation indents to do - if you pro-rata a salary, it means the employee salary is less than the employee will receive for a full month. 

The fixed column is only a rate, and not a value that affects the payslip - this is linked to the monthly salary on the INC screen.

The value in the Amount column will adjust and will be calculated based on the input done, multiplying the daily rate with the units entered. 

If you remove the last step on the MOC, the amount will not clear, and will only add input to the amount column.

We however would not recommend to change the calculation.

Okay, maybe I said it incorrectly. Apologies. This is my scenario... I have an employee that started on the 26th May and need to pay them for the 4 days  in my

June payroll. How would I do the transaction?

Thank you for this information, this changes the scenario.

One option would be to create a backpay line (same as the salary line), which you can setup as in the example below - it would provide the employee a better idea of what the amount was for the previous month.

If you want to add the amounts for the days of the previous month to the same salary line, we would recommend to enter the 4 days to get the financial value for 4 days, and then just enter the full salary + 4 days in the amount column.
