Good to KnowIf you would like to break payments down on employee payslips, enter from and to dates for each payment. ImportantFor example if an employee works 3 lots of overtime in a period. If this is entered as three separate rows detailing dates when the overtime was worked. It will provide the employee with a breakdown on their payslip. Alternatively, if you don't want the breakdown on the payslips, overtime worked could be totalled an imported as a single row. |
