If an employee changes their working pattern there are certain amendments that need to be made to the Employee's record, a new pay component for base salary may need to be created or the existing one may need amending.

Changes on the Employee Record

Leave History Records

If this affects the employee's leave entitlements - you will need to amend or create Leave History Records to decrease/increase the employe's leave entitlement as required. Be aware that if you are pro-rating for someone working less than 5 days this will likely include the pro rata for public holidays. 

This could be done in two ways:

1. You can create a new Leave History Record
   1. Navigate to the Leave Info Tab > Leave History Sub Tab on the employee record
   2. Click "New Leave History Record"
      
   3. If you need to increase the amount of entitlement
      1. Leave Type is Annual Leave Accrual
      2. Accrual Type is Accrual
      3. Hours is the number of hours to increase by
      4. Enter any relevant details
      5. Save
         
   4. If you need to decrease the amount of entitlement 
      1. Leave Type is Annual Leave Accrual
      2. Accrual Type is Taken
      3. Hours is the number of hours to decrease by
      4. Enter any relevant details
      5. Save
         
2. You can edit the existing full year entitlement Leave History Record
   1. Navigate to the Leave Info Tab > Leave History Sub Tab on the employee record
   2. Click "Edit" on the leave history record for the entitlement they were given at the beginning of the year
      
   3. Reduce or increase the number of hours they have been give to the required amount
   4. Save the record

Existing Leave Requests

For any future booked leave requests, these will still be using the previous Leave Request Working Week

You will need to edit and set these to Cancelled and then rebook them so that they use the new hours and days as set on the new Leave Request Working Week.

Update Leave

You will then need to update the leave on the Employee Record to recalculate the Leave Balances:
1. At the top of the Employee Record click the “Update Leave” button 
2. Check the leave balance is now correct

Base Salary Pay Component

You will need to update the employees existing pay component or create a new one for either the pro-rata amount or the full time salary depending on the amendment made to the hours.

Follow link here for instructions on updating pay components. 

Leave Setup and Entitlement

If they are not working 5 days a week you may also need to update their leave entitlement and public holiday settings to pro rata correctly. 

Leave Entitlement

For employees who do not work 5 days per week their entitlement may be inclusive of the Public Holidays e.g. if your standard leave is 20 days plus 8 bank holidays then the employee will now receive 28 days pro rata rather than 20 days pro rata plus 8 bank holidays. 

You may need to set up a new Leave Accrual Rate for this. To do so:

1. Navigate to Payroll Administration > Leave Accrual Rates
   
2. You can make a copy of the existing one you use. Open in View the standard leave accrual rate (in this example Annual Leave 20 Days UK)
   
3. Hover over actions and click Make Copy
4. Rename this e.g. Annual Leave 28 Days UK (PT) and set the Days to 28 then click Save
   

This means that when your new year annual leave process runs it will create the full pro rata amount of leave entitlement (or for a new starter it will pro rata the correct amount).

Public Holiday Setup 

You should then navigate to the Employee Record and open it in edit mode.

On the Leave Info tab enter a tick in the Exclude Public Holidays and Exclude Public Hols From Leave Request.

They will then need to book in any bank holidays that fall on their working days so that it uses their annual leave balance.
