When an entitlement period is passed, Synergetic performs a calculation depending on whether the entitlement actually accrues.
For the following examples assume that the entitlement for the period the employee is about to enter is ten days.
Example - Full-time equivalency (FTE)
If an employee's FTE is 0.5 then the entitlement in the prior examples is actually five days (10 * 0.5).
To set an employee's FTE:
- Open the FTE tab of Payroll Maintenance. See Payroll Maintenance - FTE tab (on page ).
- Specify the payroll award code, FTE and start date for an employee.
- Synergetic calculates their current entitlements from these dates. It also uses these dates to back-calculate entitlements. It is therefore vital that an employee has:
- an FTE record as far back as their start date
- a leave calculated start date if it is defined.
