Employee Payment Processed Option

The Employee Details page has been simplified and a new Payment Processed option has been added. The new options are,

• Weekly
• Monthly

Weekly is the default option. The Monthly option has been added to enable employees who are paid monthly and work variable hours to be added and exported from weekly wage sheets.

Variable Monthly Pay Employees on Weekly Wages

To support these new Variable Monthly Pay employees on weekly wage sheets, Raven is introducing a new deferred status. Wage Sheet icons are now coloured to easily identify their status.

State	Colour	Description
Active	Green	Active wage sheets have been created but not yet completed by the client.
Submitted	Yellow	Submitted Wage sheets have been completed and verified by the client and are ready to be exported by the accountants. Once submitted, wage sheets are locked to client and cannot be changed.
Deferred	Red	Deferred Wage Sheets are a new state and indicates all weekly paid employees have been exported, but one or more monthly processed employees are on the wage sheet and have been deferred for later processing.
Exported	Blue	Exported Wage Sheets have been fully processed and exported.

Accountants should export wage sheets as normal. If a wage sheet has at least one employee on Variable Monthly Pay, it’ll enter deferred state with a list of deferred employees recorded in the export report.

Once there is a monthly collection of deferred weekly wage sheets, these can all be selected and exported in a single operation. This creates an export file containing the hours and rates of all employees on variable monthly pay.
