    Hi Gail206E 

     

    I'm personally not aware of any differences between using ORD or SAL to pay your employees. The only thing would be you would need to create overtime pay codes (like ORD1.5 or ORD2) if you are needing to make payment at a higher rate. 

     

    Although, if you are moving from ORD to SAL, I would do it at the start of the next payroll year. This is mainly for consistencies sake i.e. you have done almost a full year at ORD you might as well continue that process for another 6 weeks or so then draw a line in the sand for the next payroll year.

THANK YOU Steven.  That last paragraph is key for me. 

 

Although I would like to clarify - does it make any difference if a salaried person (with set 4 weeks holiday)  is entered in payroll as on "ordinary time" instead of using the salary field?  He is currently loaded as "ordinary time".  any problems if I were to introduce the "salary" field and use that from now on?

 

many thanks

Gail
